If the computed thread count is higher than `BEES_DEFAULT_THREAD_LIMIT`
(currently 8), then only that number of threads will be created.
This limit can be overridden by the `--thread-count` option; however,
be aware that there are [kernel issues with systems that have many CPU
cores](btrfs-kernel.md) when users try to run bees on all of them.
