While we're on the subject, let me indulge a pet peeve: How did you
measure this? Can you reproduce the measurement? Is the difference
statistically significant? What aspect of performance is worse? Task
switching time? IO throughput?
Benchmarking is *hard*, and 'up to 3 times' is not the result of a
careful, well thought out benchmark.
