Async/Await did a whole lot to help with concurrency, IValueTaskSource and IThreadPoolWorkItem helped bring the allocation cost for that back down...

But I still don't have a good way to, say, hint to the scheduler that 'these async work loops are important enough that I want them to always run in this dedicated group of threads'.

Also, having a way to get high precision Sleep() without hacks that have impact on the rest of the system would be nice too.
