Initially we're taking a cautious approach: using multithreading
automatically where we're pretty confident it will usually give a
benefit (xsl:result-document, fn:collection()) and allowing it to be
invoked manually in cases where we think it's likely to incur more cost
than benefit in a significant number of cases (xsl:for-each,
xsl:apply-templates). Hopefully the decision-making will become more
sophisticated as we gain experience and gather user feedback.
