Hello,
I would like to speed up the computation of NFS@Home tasks.
If I assign more CPU cores to a single task (for example 2 or more cores instead of 1), will it finish faster?

If yes, could someone provide a correct app_config.xml example to make every NFS@Home task use exactly 2 CPU cores?
I’m not sure about the correct <app_name> values for all NFS applications (e.g., lasieved, lasievee_small, etc.).

Thank you!
