It depends on the speed of your disk, filesystem, etc.  Is this local disk or something like NFS? Is this a physical machine or a vm? How many workers are you running?  We generally run 2 per cpu core -- that does "worse" than 1 per core in benchmarking, but seems to work better in actual production use because of various places nginx may block (on Linux).
