There is also taskPool.asyncBuf but it made your code on the other 
thread with apply_metrics() even slower.

parallel() returns struct ParallelForeach, which is not an InputRange. 
That limits its usefulness. However, each() seems to work with types 
that provide opApply() (which ParallelForeach does) and the following 
works (in some cases):

     some.range.chain.parallel.each!(/* ... */);
