What is the optimal configure.json setting for mining Random XL using xmrig on Loki?

Question

I'm mining on a threadripper 1950x and I followed this guide: https://medium.com/luxor/loki-randomxl-fork-af9b141e492a

I got to the point of mining, but now I want to optimize it further for mining Loki Random XL. Currently it only shows mining with 2 threads at 800h/s. I'm not sure what to change to make use of more threads in my cpu. What are the optimal settings?

Your fallback rx object only specifies 2 threads with no affinity. Add the following into the cpu object to yield 16 threads with no affinity:

"rx/loki": [
       -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,
       -1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1,-1
    ],

Replace the -1's with CPU IDs to affine the threads to specific CPUs.
