Technically or theoretically, telling it you have 16 and sending it more
information than CPUs should allow the processor to handle the threading in
ways that will give a speed increase.
Unfortunately, the engineer in me is laughing (cackling, actually) and
wondering if a speed test of the command at 16 and the command at 8 using
even something simple like time would be in order.

yep, /proc/cpuinfo says 16. Should I reduce that back down to 8?

Answering only for talon1, yes. It is a quad processor box with

3GHz Xeon CPUs. Thought it may come up as 16 cores because of
HyperThreading.
