Wow, nice job figuring that out. I went and took a look at tuned-adm
documentation but didn't see anything that stood out that would cause
the behavior you were seeing.
I suspect your toplev results showing this is a frontend problem mesh
nicely with the hyper-threading configuration inducing the bad behavior,
since there is still only one execution unit, and the fetchers would
have to stall. I think you've rediscovered why the forwarding /
routing crowd generally turns off hyperthreading.
