## Why PTP
1. Provides rich, fine-grained control primitives spanning the entire work lifecycle.
2. Offers native async support. PTP manages all continuations of an asynchronous work directly without sacrificing async semantics and essential characteristics, rather than simply wrapping `Task.Run`.
2. Offers native async support, managing continuations of asynchronous work without compromising the essence of asynchrony, rather than merely wrapping `Task.Run`, so that the scheduling semantics provided by PTP also hold for continuations.
3. Grants asynchronous works the exact same control features as synchronous ones via a unified interface, allowing transparent and seamless interleaving of synchronous and asynchronous workloads.
4. Leverages optimizations like CAS, work-stealing, and heuristic debounce algorithms. This maintains performance close to the native thread pool while implementing advanced functionality, thereby minimizing the overhead caused by secondary encapsulation.
