I tried a few variants and didn't see improvements. But I added a sentence to
doc with my guess why:
* (We use the same structure for both
* Runnable and Callable versions, since including an extra field
* in either case doesn't hurt -- it seems mildly preferable
* for these objects to be larger than other kinds of tasks to
* reduce false sharing during possibly frequent bookkeeping
* updates.
