I've done some tests with Vera nosmt. I don't see much difference with
ASYM_PACKING vs ASYM_CPUCAPACITY (baseline), pretty much in error range (I
see around 1-2% difference across runs, but there's not a clear bias
between the two solutions).

I'll try to find a Grace system and repeat the tests there as well.

Thanks,
-Andrea
