(Note that this default behavior [has changed in Go 1.5](https://golang.org/doc/go1.5#runtime)). When using etcd in heavy-load scenarios on machines with multiple cores it will usually be desirable to increase the number of threads that etcd can utilize. To do this, simply set the environment variable `GOMAXPROCS` to the desired number when starting etcd. For more information on this variable, see the Go [runtime](https://golang.org/pkg/runtime) documentation.
