> One thing is decrease CPU load on the main thread. On the other side we can save the time that preloadscanner spends on the main thread. Ideally only the resourcerequest will coast on main thread. Does it make sense and is it possible to modify resource downloading to support download from worker threads?

So if tokenization time on the cpu is the main target here, it seems like reusing tokens would be strictly superior (as it would work for single core as well as multicore devices). It doesn't seem like too much work to hack up for comparison. Or perhaps I'm missing another benefit of threading here?
