I have a system with 12 cores, (24 with hyperthreading). Splunk is setting the indexThread value to 8:
index="_internal" source=*splunkd.log indexProcessor AND indexThreads AND param AND autotuned
Splunk is is behind in indexing the data (few hours). So I want to increase the number of index threads. Splunk recommends to leave this value untouched:

What happens if I force this value to 16?

Don't do it, and it won't help.
