The IU_SORTTHREADS environment variable specifies the number of sort threads.
Value
The number of sort threads, in the range 0 – 8. The default is the number of CPUs, up to 8, or the number of keys.
Discussion
IU_SORTTHREADS is tuned for SSDs. If you’re using a single HDD or a non-SSD temporary file device, you might see better performance by specifying a number lower than the default.
