Possible to limit thread usage?
Can we get an an option to manually set the number of threads used? Seems like most programs are not really optimized for high core counts (36+) and it might end taking longer to encode due to overhead?
Re: Possible to limit thread usage?
You can limit the video encoder threads in the advanced encoder options.
Other than that, there are a number of threads you can't control, but they won't cause the problem you're describing.

Ok thanks, not seeing this video encoder threads in the advanced encoder options though...?
Re: Possible to limit thread usage?
It's not a clickable setting. You would add it to the "Extra Options" box on the Video tab.
I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm remembering "threads=N" (where N is the number of threads to limit to) is the option.

Re: Possible to limit thread usage?
Yes, this should work for the x264 encoder (x265 uses thread pools and the options are different: http://x265.readthedocs.io/en/default/threading.html).
For the most part, there is no need to mess with this.
