Comment (by hinder):

 --procs is ambiguous, so we should deprecate it.  It really means "total
 number of threads which will be launched", but from the user's point of
 view, it also usually corresponds to "cores".  I would like to be able to
 specify "--cores" (i.e. the amount of hardware I want to use), on the
 understanding that I will get that many cores, and that there will be one
 thread per core (the sensible choice).  We should keep --procs for
 compatibility to mean exactly what it means now.  We can introduce "--
 processes" which will determine the number of MPI processes; this is
 probably only ever used when testing, and when running test suites.
