               let's just 
                 numcpus *= 2;
               or
                 numcpus *= 4;
it's not like we want to shave a microsecond, makes code less readable.

  same
I would also make numcpus a static variable, so that you don't repeat he
loop each time you go though one of those APIs.

  That patch sounds less urgent might be worth waiting past 0.7.3,
ACK though
