In the real world, the population of 1837 was about 1.2 billion. Going off that, there is now 1.2 billion Emilys and one super-mutant consisting of the 1.2 billion people that went in to it. Now, the way strangulation works is that is prevents blood flow to the brain, knocking a person out in about 7-14 seconds (this leads to the interesting point that the Strong Arms bone charm actually makes Corvo's arms become intangible, merge into his victim's skull and drain the oxygen like that). I'm going to take from Pacific Rim here, where two pilots have to control the Jaegers to share the mental stress of a body that large. The largest Jaeger in the movie, Cherno Alpha, weighed in at 2412 tons. I'm going to take this to mean that one person can control no more than 1206 tons, or 1,094,065kg. Using some very dodgy logic, I'm now going to say that the average weight of the people in this mutant is 65kg. Multiply that by the 1.2 billion people in there and you get a monster weighing 78 billion kilograms. Diving this by the maximum amount a person can support, this behemoth needs at least 71,294 heads to control it. It has 1.2 billion. Therefore, by choking a mere 1,199,928,706 heads, the monster becomes unconscious. With 1.2 billion Emilys, that should only take a few seconds.
