 Hi,

 The documentation of getNumProcessors says :
 "Returns the number of CPUs that the machine has", but it is true only for
 program compiled with -threaded option.
 https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.9.0.0/docs/GHC-Conc-
 Sync.html#v:getNumProcessors

 I guess the documentation is just misleading. Or is it a bug ?


 Regards
