These figures are IMO way too low for a 64-way system. I have a 
32-way system with midrange server CPUs and get 650k+/sec 
easily.

Have you tried to analyze the root cause, what does 'perf top' 
show during the run and how much idle time is there?

Trying to reproduce your findings I have done 4x JVM tests 
myself, using 4x 8-warehouse setups, with a sizing of -Xms8192m 
-Xmx8192m -Xss256k, and here are the results:

                         v3.7       v3.7                                  
  SPECjbb single-1x32    524k       638k         +21.7%
  SPECjbb  multi-4x8     633k       655k          +3.4%

So while here we are only marginally better than the 
single-instance numbers (I will try to improve that in numa/core 
v17), they are still better than mainline - and they are 
definitely not slower as your numbers suggest ...

So we need to go back to the basics to figure this out: please 
outline exactly which commit ID of the numa/core tree you have 
booted. Also, how does 'perf top' look like on your box?

Thanks,

	Ingo
