 Not every task can be easily paralellized and depending on the size of the task putting it onto its own thread may introduce its own performance drawbacks as any benefit may be outweighed by the overhead of the runtime itself. I highly recommend especially for a larger scale application that you spend some time learning about Amdahls Law http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law . Also be sure to check out this jspef example demonstrating the overhead that additional threads have, performance currently varies wildly between browsers. http://jsperf.com/javascript-multi-threading/3
 
-The library attempts to detect the number of available cores on a client machine and formulates a maximum concurrent thread count based on that value, if the library is unable to detect a valid core count it will fallback to a maxThread count of 16. The library will automatically pool and manage execution across all available threads automatically scaling based on demand, and will destroy threads when they do not have pending work to complete, otherwise explicit threads are reused.

 Threads are not the same as cores, assuming your machine has 4 logical cores you can ask the library to split a given task across exactly 4 threads, however there is no guarantee that a single thread will have access to it's own core for execution. The operating system manages thread allocation to individual cores, WebHamsters simply manages splitting sequential task across individual threads the library cannot control how the OS manages those threads once they are handed off.
