The patch looks good to me.

What I would *like* to see here is a support override for this.

An API which passes in a default, 8 cpus, and the output is 8 cpus,
so long as the support library doesn't override the number of cpus
to use.

This way I can re-run the entire testsuite with maximum number of
cpus for tests that claim such scalability.
