From f4694a8c088106bb5a137407ffa9c8a0fe871566 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Robert de Bath Date: Fri, 24 Oct 2014 08:43:27 +0100 Subject: config.txt: pack.windowmemory limit applies per-thread It took me a long time to notice the rider on the pack.threads configuration option that it would multiple the memory consumption by the number of CPUs in the machine. Clarify that the limit applies per-thread.
