Hmm yeah the name needs to be more abstract. Do you think nr_workers
would be confusing? Or even just "parallelism" or nr_parallel? Or any
other ideas?

FWIW I briefly looked at just cleaning this up to remove the global
variable but that's a bigger time investment than I can afford here I
think. (The local variable in stress() would still need a better name
anyway).

Thanks for the review BTW!
