Data Collection Job - possible to increase concurrent machines scanned?

[NJK-Work]

From observation, it appears during a Data Collection job, only 4 machines are scanned at a time.  Does anyone know if there is a configuration file that can be changed to increase this so that the job gets done faster?  I have a pretty beefy SIM machine with LOTS of RAM and I am assuming it might be able to handle more scans running at the same time.  Right now it takes several hours to complete a data collection of about 615 servers (physical and virtual mix - 50% each).

Thanks

Run this command on the SIM server

mxglobalsettings -s DataCollectionThreadCount = 10 (or whatever value you want)

Seems like it scans 1 more server than this value.  So the default is "3" and it was scanning 4 servers at a time.  I changed this to 10 and now it scans 11 servers at a time.  Kind of wierd.
