This is a helper class for retrieving + caching the number of threads available: ```cs public static class ThreadStatistics { public static int ThreadCount; public static int BackgroundThreadCount; static ThreadStatistics() { ThreadPool.GetMinThreads(out ThreadCount, out _); // Minus 1 to avoid running Tasks on the main thread // Must be at least 1 to ensure Tasks get run BackgroundThreadCount = Math.Max(1, ThreadCount - 1); } } ```
