spread: 64 workers for each system
Metadata
Current evaluation
Closed unmerged: the experimental jump to 64 Spread workers per system was abandoned as too resource-intensive; worker tuning continued in merged PR #2615 (5c91f9681).
Resolution: closed stale
Reason: PR #2676 was abandoned after @zyga called 64 workers "a bit expensive." Its author confirmed it was an intentional experiment seeking a better solution, and no change from this PR was merged.
