58Sets the maximum number of AIO threads to C<$nthreads>. If more than
59the specified number of threads are currently running, kill them. This
60function blocks until the limit is reached.

62This module automatically runs C<max_parallel 0> at program end, to ensure
63that all threads are killed and that there are no outstanding requests.
