[Let's Discuss] Multiprocessors/User Settings

SET RequestedNumJobThreads "-1"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "-1"

What is this?
What is the primary focus of these codes?

A couple of questions I have asked myself everytime a patch comes out, and I have to tweak those variables to:

SET RequestedNumJobThreads "0"
SET RequestedNumWorkerThreads "0"


I learned it from a random topic post on the ESO forums. I have no idea where I had found it before, but this is not the first time I had to tweak user settings under notepad to get a Zenimax game to work. I heard a tale a while ago that it was because all of the Elder Scrolls was built primarily to rely on hard drive functionality more than processing speed. Also, this is for people who run more than one processor. People without multi-cores should "ignore this". I had to put in this one when tweaking the ini on Skyrim because I have a quad processor:

iNumThreads=4

Not so different.
So, I want to get a bit of clarity on the science of this. Can someone please explain this in its' full entirety?!? I would love to get more experience on this topic, because I have met quite a few people having this same issue with multicores, and playing ESO. Maybe it can help them too. Also I would like this to be posted as a sticky, because a lot of people with multi-core needs this addressed. Before I implemented this tweak into my settings, I was always getting kicked from Cyrodiil or in front of a bank.

    So what does changing the -1 to 0 actually do?

    To the best of my understanding it either makes ESO a higher priority in the operations chain on the computer, or it makes the multi-cores work together. I am not 100% sure. Can someone give us some clarity here?
