This can be used to run slow or blocking operations on the secondary pool without having to start an entirely separate process. While the latter might feel more natural it requires more memory (at least 32 KB the moment this new process allocates an object) and requires copying of data sent between these processes. On the other hand moving a process from one pool to another is cheap and doesn't suffer from any of these issues. Using this mechanism one could implement a file reading method like so: def read -> String { process.run_in_secondary_pool { _INKOC.file_read(@File) } } With this change the method `process.spawn_io` is removed as it most likely won't be used for a while (if ever).
