i like how nub is a gentle push on making Node better (while still not technically a fork!)
I hope some of these goodies will be eventually upstreamed.
Nub v0.9.1 — Nub autosizes the libuv threadpool on beefier machines
Node caps the threadpool at 4. Nub lets this float to the number of machine cores (with conservative nicing beyond 4), increasing max throughput for crypto, zlib, DNS, and native addons like bcrypt and sharp
