How To

In windows explorer, go to:
C:\Users\[yourusername]\AppData\Roaming\The Creative Assembly\Attila\scripts
or
%appdata%\The Creative Assembly\Attila\scripts
and open the file
preferences.script.txt

In that file, find the following line:

number_of_threads 0; # number_of_threads <int>, Set the number of threads <= 0 - automatic, >0 = explicit number #

And change the 0 to the number of threads or cores your CPU has available.
For exampe, in my case, using a Ryzen 7 5800x:

number_of_threads 16; # number_of_threads <int>, Set the number of threads <= 0 - automatic, >0 = explicit number #

If you do not know how many cores your CPU has, press CTRL+Shift+Esc, open the "Performance" tab, and the CPU tab should then tell you all you need to know.
