In this case, all the work is pure computation, so I don't expect to save
any time by doing this, because the work is still all being done in the

due to the overhead of switching from one to another.
Yeah - you're not gaining anything here. All (?) the interesting use
cases involve waiting for something (e.g. disk access, network
communication, separate process) before you can proceed with your
computation.
The obvious exception being a UI remaining responsive to the user while the
calculation is processing.
