ui/crumbs/hobprefs: set higher arbitrary limit on threads & parallelism

We don't have a good handle on a sane cap value so just set it to an
arbitrary, but reasonably high, number. Once we have some more numbers on
values for number of threads and make parallelism we can integrate the
algorithm into the GUI.
