I set my threads to "threads=10" and instantly my BF4 was playing smoother, and the stream was smoother.

my hardware:
2600k @3.8Ghz
7970 at 1Ghz, 1.375Ghz mem,

Stream:
Preset: Fast,
bit rate: 3500
Custom X264: threads=10

My question is now: What does threads=10 do? I know it makes OBS only use 10 threads vs 12, but what is limiting it anyways?
