FYI I have a core duo PC with 2 x 2.7 ghz cores & 2GB RAM
As far as I know, Calibre only has at most as many worker threads active as there are CPU cores. The other threads idle away, I think.
For reference purposes: I have just started Calibre, and I have the default settings concerning threads. My process manager shows one instance of calibre.exe and two instances of calibre-parallel.exe, I haven't interacted with the program at all, and the server isn't running either.
