    Nginx 1.21.x
    MariaDB 10.x
    auto assigns nginx to all cpu cores leaving nothing dedicated to PHP-FPM and MySQL whereas the way Centmin Mod's method leaves a few cpu threads available for PHP-FPM and MySQL without further cpu contention

    Centmin Mod automatically does all the calculations in inc/cpucount.inc for up to 257 cpu threads
