fix: Maximize parallel throughput by removing Task.Yield bottleneck
The Task.Yield() calls in TaskWrapper were causing sequential task scheduling, where each task had to yield before the next could start. This created a bottleneck that prevented true parallel execution. Changes: - Removed Task.Yield() from all TaskWrapper Process methods - Added Task.Run() at processor level to ensure immediate parallel scheduling - Tasks now start immediately on thread pool threads without blocking - Added .ToList() to materialize task collections for eager execution Performance improvements: - Achieved 18x to 9700x speedup in tests depending on workload - All 482 tests passing - True parallel execution now occurs even with synchronous user delegates This ensures ProcessInParallel() eagerly schedules all tasks immediately, maximizing throughput and CPU utilization. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
