Yes, it is random, I just wanted to avoid completely nonsense values. My

want to use more than 64 threads for video decoding. Of course, this can
be changed when it becomes a problem :)

Thank you very much, this is very useful! Also for measuring performance
differences with different Equalizer configurations.

I applied your patch with a few tiny modifications:
