Make kills eager #91

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
Killing a group currently stages the killing of its group subtree by scheduling 
the child groups to be killed, which when run will then recursively schedule 
their own children, and so on.

Killing the entire subtree in one scheduled step is more time and space 
efficient. In previous single-threaded implementations, the long pause might 
have been unacceptable, but this is not an issue in our current thread pool 
implementation.

Care must be taken to ensure that descent into the subtrees is not synchronized 
in the parent; otherwise the entire group subtree could become synchronized in 
the same thread, creating a bottleneck.
