Subject: [PATCH] Fix #440

> According to [this](https://github.com/foxlet/macOS-Simple-KVM/issues/319#issuecomment-1003775896), macOS only supports power-of-two cores. But you can increase the number of sockets to get the virtual cores you need.
>
> If you need 6 cores, go with:
>
> ```
> -e EXTRA='-smp 6,sockets=3,cores=2'
> ```

 #### Use more CPU Cores/SMP
 
-This will use all available cores; adjust accordingly to the day of the week:
+Examples:
 
-```
-    -e CPU_STRING=$(nproc) \
-```
+`-e EXTRA='-smp 6,sockets=3,cores=2'`
 
-This will use `-smp $(nproc)`
+`-e EXTRA='-smp 8,sockets=4,cores=2'`
+
+`-e EXTRA='-smp 16,sockets=8,cores=2'`
+
+Note, unlike memory, CPU usage is shared. so you can allocate all of your CPU's to the container.
