When set, preallcoation threads will be crated via the thread context -- inheriting the same CPU affinity as the thread context. Pinning preallcoation threads to CPUs can heavily increase performance in NUMA setups, because, preallocation from a CPU close to the target NUMA node(s) is faster then preallocation from a CPU further remote, simply because of memory bandwidth for initializing memory with zeroes. This is especially relevant for very large VMs backed by huge/gigantic pages, whereby preallocation is mandatory.
