To choose your pool consider that with a FixedThreadPool/FixedClusterPool or a DynamicThreadPool/DynamicClusterPool (in this case is important the min parameter passed to the constructor) your application memory footprint will increase. Increasing the memory footprint, your application will be ready to accept more tasks, but during idle time your application will consume more memory. -One good choose from my point of view is to profile your application using Fixed/Dynamic worker pool, and to see your application metrics when you increase/decrease the num of workers. +One good choice from poolifier team point of view is to profile your application using fixed or dynamic worker pool, and to see your application metrics when you increase/decrease the num of workers. For example you could keep the memory footprint low choosing a DynamicThreadPool/DynamicClusterPool with 5 workers, and allow to create new workers until 50/100 when needed, this is the advantage to use the DynamicThreadPool/DynamicClusterPool.

The worker weights are maximum tasks execution time, once the worker has reached its maximum tasks execution time, the next task is assigned to the next worker. + ### Interleaved weighted round robin ## Statistics +Worker choice strategies enable only the statistics that are needed to choose the next worker to avoid unnecessary overhead. + ### Median Strategies using the average task execution time for each worker can use the median instead. Median is more robust to outliers and can be used to avoid assigning tasks to workers that are currently overloaded. Median usage introduces a small overhead: measurement history must be kept for each worker and the median must be recomputed each time a new task has finished.
