So I've been running this on my 32 CPU arm64 desktop with:
  nr_threads: 10%
  nr_threads: 50%
  (20 iterations each)

In the 50% case I see a ~2% improvement, in the 10% a -0.3%
regression (another batch showed -0.08%)... Still far off from the reported
-14%. If it's really required I can go find an x86 box to test this on, but
so far it looks like a fluke.
