Count the frequency of letters in texts using parallel computation.
Parallelism is about doing things in parallel that can also be done sequentially. A common example is counting the frequency of letters. Create a function that returns the total frequency of each letter in a list of texts and that employs parallelism.
Your code should contain a frequency :: Int -> [Text] -> Map Char Int function which accepts a number of workers to use in parallel and a list of texts and returns the total frequency of each letter in the text.
Check how changing number of workers affects performance of your solution by running the benchmark. Use stack bench to run it. Feel free to modify bench/Benchmark.hs to explore your solution's performance on different inputs.
