On windows it checks NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS environmental variable, on
Linux, it parses /proc/cpuinfo. Maybe the virtualbox has only one core
available? Anyway, you can set the number of cores for the current
(updated!!) extension using:

filter_settings "dvisvgm_hashes" {
  parallel_size = 256,
  cpu_cnt = 2,
}

This can be set either in the make4ht build file, or in the .make4ht
file (you can have per-project .make4ht in each directory).

Best regards,
Michal
