-    If you only specify PAPERLESS_TASK_WORKERS, paperless will adjust
-    PAPERLESS_THREADS_PER_WORKER automatically.
+    If unset, paperless uses `max(floor(cpu_count / PAPERLESS_TASK_WORKERS), 1)`
+    threads per worker. The idea behind this is that as long as there are enough cores,
+    the total number of threads should less than or equal to the total number of (logical)
+    CPU cores.
