It does have that limit.

I asked about increasing it and was told that it can be done by editing
a value in one of the .h files or something, but the reason it wasn't
higher was that it didn't scale nicely, and they wanted to reword how it
works.

I would definitely be interested in this, as we run video transcoding
(uses a LOT of cpu) on 24 or 32 core machines, and we'd like to pass
more of the cores into the VM.
