I don't really get what the advantage of having the EventLoop running on a Threadpool instead of of a single thread is? At first it sounds like disadvantage because of more context switches.

It might be helpful if you really want to run a lot of Javascript EventLoops - but that's not the node.js programming model.

You might get more context switches, but that's preferable to having multiple cores that are left unused.
