Allow more workers on the clientside

[FrightenedLight]

For some reason workers are limited to 3 in live servers whereas in studio they’re limited to 8.

I have spent multiple months working on fully optimizing everything for parallel lua only to realize the improvement is a lot smaller than it could be because of this limit thats not noted anywhere on the documentation page.

If the limit were to be increased to 8, it would allow my game to run a lot smoother as currently tasks are taking 1000ms with using parallel lua.

8 workers: (0.596ms)

3 workers: (0.922ms)

It’s very likely to reduce sync overhead & keep performance consistent, but I do think Roblox should take more care of handling modern CPU architecture with their pipelines.

Live game servers do not allocate more cores for parallelized games

Hi @filiptibell , Right now we limit number of cores and threads being used by an experience based on its maximum player count. A game with maximum 6 players get one core and one thread. One with 30 gets 3 cores and 3 threads. Here one core means the compute resource equivalent to 1 core. It could be 100% of the CPU time of a single core or 50% of the CPU time of 2 cores, etc. It’s up to the operating system to allocate resources between multiple server instances. However, usually all cor…
