Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

A fast, single queue thread pool created with C++20
Benchmarks is indeed a good question. Here is a C++17-style library for parallel function calls which avoids std::{function, future, promise} and uses disposable threads for running the functions. I have run a few benchmarks against a typical thread pool which uses a mutex and a condition variable and a vector of threads.

You might consider using this header-only library.

Therads in Cpp
Unless you really want to play with "raw" C++ threads, you may be able to completely avoid them by using a library like this one. See the simple examples on the main page and check if they would suit your application.

How to force your code to use all CPU cores? In an efficient manner.
This header-only library might come in handy when experimenting with parallel functions. You can run any number of functions in parallel and gather the results conveniently. Take a look at the examples on the main page in Github and see if you find them useful.

How do i make the main thread sleep while worker threads work and worker threads sleep when waiting for main thread to execute them
Nope, it's definitely a problem with your code, not an external problem. This is an inevitable result when your threading scheme is not watertight. I don't have any code snippets since I'm just remembering what I've done in the past on projects, but if you can't design it to work yourself I suggest using a library. You said you've been "dealing with [multithreading] for some time now and think I have a decent understanding" but that doesn't sound like you really have a solid theoretical understanding of the subject, especially considering that it's a notoriously difficult subject. My recommendation is either to go back and plan out a watertight synchronization scheme on paper (may require finding some lecture series on multithreading theory), or to use an off-the-shelf thread pool library like this one I just found by googling thread pool library. I suggest the former if this is a hobby project, but if this code has a possibility of ever being used by other people I suggest doing the latter.

Header-only C++14 quality thread pool
Hi, I am looking for a header-only C++14 (or lower) quality thread pool. Ideally, it would be similar to BS::thread_pool but in C++14. Most of them I find on GitHub are bloated (e.g. concurrencpp) or have many open Issues. Ideal usage would be similar to:

A C++17 thread pool for high-performance scientific computing
There are lots of them and many are built into the OS(e.g. GCD on mac's, Windows has a thread pool api, TBB on all of them...)
It would be neat if the github site https://github.com/bshoshany/thread-pool or the paper did some comparisons to the existing body out there.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing Lazy and thread-pool you can also consider the following projects:
oneTBB - oneAPI Threading Building Blocks (oneTBB)
thread-pool - A modern, fast, lightweight thread pool library based on C++20
