CPU Sizing for DWD/Scheduler Component
Based on current information, the DWD/Scheduler processing is mostly single-threaded, meaning that it rarely requires more than one CPU core.
Hence, current guidelines suggest that for DWD/Scheduler CPU sizing, at most two CPU cores are required.

CPU – DWD Scheduler
2 CPU Cores
Use the fastest CPU cores available. Daily/Nightly DWD Scheduler jobs are CPU-bound and processing time benefits greatly from faster CPU cores (not from more CPU cores).
