My (limited) understanding is that it sometimes needs to build (or download) updated dependencies of Guix itself. Do you think the number of "Tasks" would increase with more cores? I only have 4 cores on my machines. Maybe if you had more, the builders spawned by your guix-daemon would run more tasks as a consequence of using all the cores. I think there are other Guix people on Debian testing. I wonder if they will hit this issue, too.
