+	bool "Enable slow work thread pool"
+	help
+	  The slow work thread pool provides a number of dynamically allocated
+	  threads that can be used by the kernel to perform operations that
+	  take a relatively long time.
+
+	  An example of this would be CacheFiles doing a path lookup followed
+	  by a series of mkdirs and a create call, all of which have to touch
+	  disk.
