Is there a way to set maxdop to a value greater than the number of schedulers on the system? I've got a VM with 4 vCPU that has a fairly low user concurrency but the queries that are run require lots of IO so the threads typically spend most of their
time in IO wait. There is a fairly large group of SSDs behind the LUNs for this VM and I'd like to be able to throw a lot more threads at it without having to allocate gobs of vCPU just to see the CPU utilization at 5%.
