Improve performance by increasing the number of dedicated HTTP I/O threads

The dedicatedIoThreads setting in server.conf specifies the number of threads dedicated to handling HTTP I/O requests. You do not usually need to change this setting from its default of "auto".

However, for an instance running as a dedicated agent management and servicing a large number of agents (>10,000), the best practice is to set dedicatedIoThreads to a value of CPU cores/2, or CPU cores-1, in the case of a very active agent management. For example, in the case of an agent management with 8 CPU cores, set dedicatedIoThreads to 4 or 7.
