Yes, thread support is broken for the moment.

You can play with the worker_processes directive to create additional
*processes*, I believe a good setting value could be the number of
cores/processors to exploit I/O wait without increasing too much the number of
context switches or processor cache misses.
It's a very contextual tuning (depending on hardware, web applications,
traffic...), but don't expect a 100 % increase in performance; with only one
process Nginx is already very fast!
