Limiting the number of cores for pixel data decoding

[Enet4]

Just relaying the information from https://github.com/Enet4/dicom-rs/issues/551, as this seems to be mostly an issue with the use of gdcm-rs. Is there a way to limit the number of cores in use for decoding?

I have noticed an issue/bug specifically when using the gdcm feature and decompressing pixel data with JPEG 2000. Specifically, the decompression process utilizes all system cores available (no matter what I do) while decompressing. It is particularly noticeable with large multiframe dicoms (mammo DBT).

As far as I can tell, it doesn't occur with any other encapsulated pixel data decompression from GDCM, and this is probably an upstream issue with GDCM itself. Using openjpeg-sys instead seems to be the solution :)

@Enet4 Thanks for reposting the issue here!

@pevers I see reference to it here in the GDCM repo, where it defaults to all system cores detected.

  SetNumberOfThreadsForDecompression( -1 );
