Do not adjust Minimum Split Depth automatically Currently minimum split depth is set automatically to 6 when number of CPUs is more than 4. I believe this is a bad idea since for example my quad (4CPU with hyperthreading) is detected as 8CPU computer. I've manually lowered down the number of Threads, but so far I have played all games with Minimum Split Depth set to 6! Since 4CPU computers with hyperthreading are quite common and 8 CPU computers extremely rear (I expect we can get a direct jump to 16 or 32 cores), this automatic adjusting is likely to do more harm than good. Add a note in Readme.txt, so that those rear 8CPU owners can manually tweak the "Minimum Split Depth" parameter Signed-off-by: Marco Costalba <mcostalba@gmail.com>
