To follow up on that:

The <WorkerThreads> setting is to specify the number of threads that do 
work on separate zones.

The <SignerThreads> setting is to specify the number of threads that do 
signature operations and should be tuned to the speed of your HSM. To 
test the speed of your HSM with different thread settings, you can use 
ods-hsmspeed.
