Tomcat GC threads

All,     We are using -XX:+UseParNewGC option in our Tomcat JVMs with -XX:ParallelGCThreads=16 on a 6 CPU system. What is the real impact of having a higher number of GC threads than the number of CPUs? With the 2 tomcat JVMs running on the box, would you recommend changing it to 6 for each
