 ### Use of Helidon's ThreadPoolSupplier and Configuration
 
 This example uses `io.helidon.common.configurable.ThreadPoolSupplier` to create the

+two executors used in the example. This provides a few benefits:
 
 1. ThreadPoolSupplier supports a number of tuning parameters that enable us to configure a small, bounded threadpool.
 2. You can drive the thread pool configuration via Helidon config -- see this example's `application.yaml`
