Considerations when setting thread limits

Each wave source has a threads setting which controls how many concurrent requests Pensive will send to that wave server. If the value is not specified for a wave server, the global or default value will be inherited.

Increasing the value will allow Pensive to place more demand on the network and wave server in an attempt to produce plots more quickly. This will be most noticeable when retrieving data across a high-bandwidth, high-latency, network.

The number of threads also directly affects Pensive's memory footprint.
