Interesting question which I also would like to know the answer.
The default 16 didn't work that well for me, as I had queue congestion
messages almost every second. The I recompiled it to use 32 threads, and
right now it seems to be working just fine.
My setup is as follows:
Dell P3 733MHz
1Gb SDRAM with ECC
4x 8Gb 10k RPM disks
cache_mem is configured as 256Mb
