Where did you see those 256 "virtual cpu's"?  According to htop,
/proc/cpuinfo and https://cfarm.tetaneutral.net/machines/list/ it only has
16 "threads".

As far as I can remember, it's a virtual machine with only 2 CPU cores of
the physical machine, each core having 8 "threads", although it seems to
be quite different from Intel Hyperthreading.  Linux does not understand
such subtleties and just sees each "thread" as a separate CPU.
