Do you think you might ask whoever compiles the Windows executables to increase
the number of CPUs to a more reasonable number?  (I would suggest 16 at least :)

This begs the question - is there any benefit to keeping the number low?  I
would think that once you get above one you have incurred whatever overhead you
are going to have for an SMP version and you should just be able to pick the
number of threads during runtime.  Why limit the maximum?
