I was probably not specific enough.

I would set GELI to use number of threads equal to physical cores - no matter where the info about physical cores comes from ... and that is for ALL encrypted GELI devices - not 'per device'.

So If you have ONE disk and 4 physical cores - it means use 4 GELI threads.

If You have 80 disks and 10 physical cores - it means use 10 GELI threads for ALL of these encrypted disks - NOT 10 threads per disk.

Hope that helps.
