- `-N`, `--num-workers=`*value*:

to the number of processors available on your system. Use this option if
you want to limit the resources used by `mkdwarfs`.
This option affects both the scanning phase and the compression phase.
you want to limit the resources used by `mkdwarfs` or to optimize build
speed. This option affects only the compression phase.
In the compression phase, the worker threads are used to compress the
individual filesystem blocks in the background. Ordering, segmenting
and block building are, again, single-threaded and run independently.
- `--num-scanner-workers=`*value*:
Number of worker threads used for building the filesystem. This defaults
to the number of processors available on your system. Use this option if
you want to limit the resources used by `mkdwarfs` or to optimize build
speed. This option affects only the scanning phase. By default, the same
value is used as for `--num-workers`.
In the scanning phase, the worker threads are used to scan files in the
background as they are discovered. File scanning includes checksumming
for de-duplication as well as (optionally) checksumming for similarity
computation, depending on the `--order` option. File discovery itself
is single-threaded and runs independently from the scanning threads.
In the compression phase, the worker threads are used to compress the
individual filesystem blocks in the background. Ordering, segmenting
and block building are, again, single-threaded and run independently.
- `-B`, `--max-lookback-blocks=`*value*:
Specify how many of the most recent blocks to scan for duplicate segments.
