Number of Threads? #27

Closed jsgithub2018 closed 6 years ago

jsgithub2018 commented 6 years ago

How does number of threads impact the time to process? How do I know my optimal number of threads to use? Is it always 4?

Thanks again

To be honest it effects the speed not so much. It depends on the number of physical cores you have in your system. Let's lay if you have 8 cores, you can set the number of threads to 6 or 7. The bigger number will, in fact, slow down the speed.

Thanks. Another question if you don't mind. Why does it sometimes show 'skipped'? This means some valid combination was not tried?

It skips only if a combination is shorter than minimum length or longer than maximum length.
