--------------------------------------------------------------

There might be a bit of confusion with the current blurb about _what_ is highly recommended (high/low/disabled/enabled), but other than that, +1.

EDIT: Also, it looks like the correct spelling is "compactor".

> We should expose a way to configure the max number of thread to use when multi_threaded compaction is turned on. So far, it uses nb_of_processors thread, which if you have many cores may be unreasonably high (as far as random IO is concerned and thus independently of compaction throttling)... at least unless you have SSD.
