Perfect, thanks. Is it possible to do something similar on linux? The dameon keeps crashing when I try to set setgenerate to 8.
I managed to make 8 threads work with an Amazon EC2 instance. Run "free -m" to see if it's dying due to memory starvation. You'll need ~750MB memory per thread, so make sure you have at least 6GB free.
If you do and it still crashes, make sure you're running a 64-bit version of linux.
I was using an azure instance with 14gb of memory, what distro were you using?
