the default setting for threads is not safe

Open jvollme opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

The default setting for threads of mmseqs2 is to just use all threads. This is not a safe default, especially if multiple people are working on the same system. One student who does not read the manual carefully can crash everything for everyone. Would you consider setting the default to 1? I realize this slows things down for people who don't read the manual/help-function. But I believe it is better to have safe defaults and mildly punish the people who don't read instructions than to have convenient defaults that severely punish everybody else...
