My interpretation: To expedite matching, i.e. processing of queries, KRunner
splits off several execution threads to do the matching simultaneously. The
first message tells that the user can limit the maximum number of such
threads. The second tells that the more processors in the system (cores
these days), the more such threads will be started ("scales with..."), up to
the limit set by the user (if set).

(In the first message, probably it should be "allowed to" instead of
"able".)
