I set it to different values from 1-4 since I have a 4 core machine, and didn't notice any real difference running that test routine you posted. i extended the 1e8 to 2e8 and 1e9 to get meaningful runtimes, but there seemed to be no difference changing the value of that option. in all cases multiple cores were taxed on execution. It's a managed machine so I don't have Process Explorer to actually verify the thread count, so maybe other things are happening that I'm not noticing.
