No and yes in that order. Your computer won't be any more powerful,
no matter how many threads you run...

Maybe, maybe not. The only way to know is to try tuning it in your
particular circumstances. Don't get hung up on one aspect of the
system if you need performance, there are lots of things to consider
in a complex system. What really matters is whether or not you are
giving your users what they want. Ask them.

Yes. OK.
But having 250 worker threads instantiated in memory and ready to use the
CPU is surely still better than 50 pre-forked servers?
