The thread model allows you to use multiple thread pools, but time and 
experience has shown that as long as you have 2 thread pools, adding more will 
not increase performance.

The most important thread setting is the number of worker threads.

Note If you run across tuning advice that suggests running one thread pool for 
each CPU core, res assured that this is old advice. Experiments and data from 
production environments have revealed that as long as you have two thread pools 
(which is the default), there is nothing to gain by increasing the number of 
thread pools.
