Error description
Documentation is needed to document the "BBOO_WORKLOAD_PROFILE"
setting and the number of worker threads for each setting.

The formulas that are used are (respectively):

ISOLATE - 1 thread
IOBOUND - min(30,max(5,num_of_cpu * 3))
CPUBOUND - max((num_of_cpu-1),3)
LONGWAIT - 40 threads

Where num_of_cpu is the # of CPUs online when the control
region comes up.
