Number of tasks to perform simultaneously.
A task is a single derivation build or an evaluation.
A task is a single derivation build, an evaluation or an effect run.
At minimum, you need 2 concurrent tasks for <literal>x86_64-linux</literal>
in your cluster, to allow for import from derivation.
<literal>concurrentTasks</literal> can be around the CPU core count or lower if memory is
the bottleneck.
The optimal value depends on the resource consumption characteristics of your workload,
including memory usage and in-task parallelism. This is typically determined empirically.
When scaling, it is generally better to have a double-size machine than two machines,
because each split of resources causes inefficiencies; particularly with regards
to build latency because of extra downloads.
