Description

Set MultiThreaded.MaxCores in properties file (see ​http://docs.mantidproject.org/nightly/concepts/PropertiesFile.html)

The spec of the autoreduce server is: Dell R820; 2x 6-core Xeon 2.90HGz

which means 24 cores.

I believe we are running a maximum of up to 4 Mantid instances (processes) in queueProcessor.py. If that is the case a suggestion is to set MultiThreaded.MaxCores=6.

Please test this by running first say 20 LET jobs with MultiThreaded.MaxCores not set and with MultiThreaded.MaxCores=6. You should see a performance gain overall.
