Title: Improve ASP.NET CPU utilization by adjusting minWorkerThreads

Increase the number of threads that the .NET thread pool grows by when a burst of new requests come in. This helps increase CPU utilization and should be good for a 5-10% performance boost.

This change only increases minWorkerThreads from 1 to 8 to be conservative in case there's any concern over excessive context switching from too many threads.
