Is there any specific reason to limit nbdkit server to threads=1?

According to our tests significant improvement (up to 4 times) could be achieved when increasing thread count.
Is there any plan to make it an user configurable parameter (in xo-cli for example) -
Question for @julienxovates (and @florent likely
) -
@laszlobortel since we are generating the stream sequentially, we though that there wasn't any real world gain. Also, if my understanding is correct using one thread means we will have only one process( + xo + nbdkit-vddk) processes , and we were trying to limit the risk of zombie process locking the disks , which was far too common with the previous code
we'll do a quick test to ensure it does not beak anything and propose either a better default of a configuration option
note that this will be a concurrency per disk, so VM with a lot of disk will put more pressure on the source
