This is exactly why I said it should be in the same order of magnitude, not exactly the same. Definitely not 250+ threads on a dual core. It might make sense to add a few more threads to keep the CPU busy if one or more of the threads will have to wait.

You're right, I misinterpreted "order of magnitude".
