I don't know why, but on my system getconf works differently (note the leading underscore in the variable name):

$ LANG=C getconf NPROCESSORS_ONLN
getconf: Unrecognized variable `NPROCESSORS_ONLN'
$ getconf _NPROCESSORS_ONLN
1

Also, I think that number of cpus is not a good maximum. I do use `make -j2` or `make -j3` on single core machines and this gives me better cpu utilisation. There is also things like hyper-threading. Maybe it's better to offer as completions numbers up to 2 * n or at least n + 2?
