enhance README to include ideal use case(s)

[gpolyn]

I came to workerize-loader for ease-of-use, but now I wonder about about pooling-type issues imposed by my present need for overlapping tasks.

So, I hope this is a helpful suggestion: Clarify use case in README, e.g., greenlet < workerize-loader < workerpool.

For example, does the following feature imply a 'natural' way to limit the number of workers?

     If exported module methods are already async, signature is unchanged

In the case of workerize and greenlet, no pooling is supported. For those use-cases, I'd recommend Clooney since it has built-in strategies for pooling. I'm going to update the readme to point people towards that library for such use-cases.

Thanks @developit .

(FYI - there is a pending issue with clooneyjs dependency, comlink at https://github.com/GoogleChromeLabs/comlink/issues/63.)

FWIW, here's an example of pooling with workerize-loader: https://github.com/gpolyn/react-and-workerize-loader/blob/master/src/workerPool2.js.

Hi @gpolyn - there's some extra stuff going on in that file that you can get rid of when using Workerize. Here's a modified version: https://gist.github.com/developit/65a2212731f6b00a8aaa55d70c594f5c

Perk: you can just call your exported functions on the pool, no need for the .queueJob(name) stuff:

import Worker from 'workerize-loader!./worker';
import WorkerPool from './worker-pool';
let pool = new WorkerPool(Worker, 4);
for (let i=10; i--; ) pool.doThing();

@developit thanks a lot!

Good catch, I updated.
