Comment (by eschnett):

 The ini files contain not only information that is directly used, but also
 provide a generic description of the systems. In this case, num-threads is
 "a good number of threads to use" on the particular system. For example, a
 tool may want to query or display this information, e.g. to run benchmarks
 on a system.

 Also, the current version of Simfactory does use OpenMP by default, and
 does use this MDB entry by default.
