I'd have thought we could just rely on online_cpus() returning 1 here to
avoid having to ask "do we even have thread support?". But I guess that
TODO comment implies that we might one day two 2 threads on a single
CPU.

See my earlier response - the HAVE_THREADS tests are not needed.

We can remove the "TODO" comment - I tested it and it wasn't faster to have more threads than CPUs.
