+Gunicorn relies on the operating system to provide all of the load balancing
+when handling requests. Generally we recommend (2 x $num_cores) + 1
+as the number of workers to start off with. While not overly scientific,
+the formula is based on the assumption that for a given core,
+one worker will be reading or writing from the socket
+while the other worker is processing a request.
