Good point, thanks @jprotze! It makes sense not to use more than half of the available logical processors to avoid over-subscribing, noting there are other libomp test cases run running in parallel, including 2 other collapse test cases using `collapse_test.inc`. Changed as per suggestion. Also removed `omp_set_num_threads(num_threads);` because it will make the call to `omp_get_max_threads()` in the next iteration return half of the original value.
