// Submit a mix of short and long jobs to the threadpool.
// Report total job throughput.
// If we partition the long job, overall job throughput goes up significantly.
// However, this comes at the cost of the long job throughput.
//
// Short jobs: small zip jobs.
// Long jobs: fs.readFile on a large file.
