Two physical cores, four if you count x86 hyperthread "processors."

FWIW, slapd has been rock-solid on this hardware with this (or essentially
similar) configuration since before 2.1.30 up through 2.3.30. We skipped
forward to 2.3.41, and started seeing these crashes. However, we weren't
using syncrepl until 2.3.41, either.
