+/*! \file isc/taskpool.h
+ * \brief A task pool is a mechanism for sharing a small number of tasks
+ * among a large number of objects such that each object is
+ * assigned a unique task, but each task may be shared by several
+ * objects.
+ *
+ * Task pools are used to let objects that can exist in large
+ * numbers (e.g., zones) use tasks for synchronization without
+ * the memory overhead and unfair scheduling competition that
+ * could result from creating a separate task for each object.
