HulaHoop via Whonix Forum:
No this looks like a strange software bug that I hope gets ironed out by stable next.
Alright. Since that bug
doesn’t get fixed, there’s no urgency to change anything.
In my experience one seems to cut it for most tasks including hd video
playback.
OK.
Building Whonix of course needs more cpus allocated, but not many are
doing that.
Agreed. Not a criteria.
The disadvantage is we over commit resources which puts a hard limit
on use with dual core machines unless a user decides to edit the
settings manually. (yes there are dual core machines out there with 4gb
ram go figure). Adding one more core to ws pushes total requirement for
Whonix to 3 cores because we don’t allow gw and ws to use same cores.
OK. Maybe CPU assignment could be more automatic, better once
Whonix-Host is a reality.
