OK - that was simply that processing with 8 threads is more than
enough to saturate a single CPU on fast devices so we don't need any
more parallelism in this case. And when you have large slow devices,
8 threads is more than enough to saturate the IO subsystem....

I'll add a comment mentioning that.

Cheers,

Dave.
