I've done some testing across various systems (both "large" and "small"). Increasing NR_CPUS seems to have a negligible effect. I see about a 1.1M increase in memory usage when switching between 128 cpus and 5120 cpus. Since most systems ship with 4G or more these days, I cannot see an issue with consuming a small amount of memory like this. The current NR_CPUS in Fedora is 128 and the current NR_CPUS in RHEL7 is 5120. I do not see any reason that those values have to be different anymore. Thoughts/concerns?
