In this day and age, it seems odd that we have to explicitly specify the number of cores. Detecting it would be pretty simple, on all systems I know of.
Before I go ahead and write a patch, I'd there some technical or political reason we're boy doing that?

- If we will take benchmark, "+RTS -Nx -qa -Aym" should be specified
to a server. "y" should be changed according to "x", the number of
core. I'm using "+RTS -N10 -qa -A32m" on a 12 core machine. "-qa"
improves performance on Linux but not FreeBSD even if a "-qa" bug of
GHC on FreeBSD is fixed.

- "ab" sucks. We should use "weighttp" instead. I use as
weighttp -n 1000000 -c 1000 -k -t 10 "http://X.Y.Z.W:8000/"
which creates 10 native threads.
