Ah, in that sense you're right I think. It even has comment about that:

  // TaskGroup has a relatively high overhead, so we want to reduce
  // the number of spawn() calls. We'll create up to 1024 tasks here.
  // (Note that 1024 is an arbitrary number. This code probably needs
  // improving to take the number of available cores into account.)

But still - for our case it spawn single thread 65k times, not 65k threads at once.
And we can simply avoid that.

So it does not spawn more threads than the number of cores for case I am trying to fix.
