Nginx
worker_processes
A worker process is a single-threaded process.
If Nginx is doing CPU-intensive work such as SSL or gzipping and you have 2 or more CPUs/cores,
then you may set worker_processes to be equal to the number of CPUs or cores.
If you are serving a lot of static files and the total size of the files is bigger than the available memory,
then you may increase worker_processes to fully utilize disk bandwidth.
