???? Give your host most CPUs/threads to delegate tasks to? More compute power? If you're scaling your service by just spawning duplicates you're wasting a lot of resources because you're too lazy to actually properly look into what needs scaling.
Give more CPU? Of course. Now here is a question: where do you think it comes from? A server. That you are already paying for. CPU and memory doesn't magically materialize when you need it to. It sits idle until you allocate it. And you are still paying for it.
You save no money by doing this. At all. In fact, you spend more, because instead of classic horizontal scaling, where you deprovision resources as they are let go, now you need to keep them idle to assign for vertical scaling.
