All 1000 green threads in an eventlet pool will run on the same CPU. You only get true concurrency when you increase the number of workers.

For example if you use a single worker and have 1000 green threads performing SSL encryption/decryption (eg talking SSL to Swift) that single CPU will be a bottleneck.

It would be useful to be clearer about the pros/cons (ideally backed up with testing/data) of changing the default.
