# Threads

The maximum number of actions that the server can process in parallel at any one time. You can calculate the optimum number of threads as follows:

(1 x Num CPUs) + 1 spare thread.

NOTE: You cannot configure the total number of threads split between ACI and asynchronous threads to be more than 32. If the value of `Threads` set in the `[AsyncActions]` section, plus the value of Threads in the `[Server]` section, is greater than 32, IDOL Category Component does not start up, and logs an error message.
