The earlier synthetic tests I did:
Showed a substantial speedup even in the single spindle case on a couple
of systems, but one didn't really seem to benefit. So we could theorize
that Robert's test system is more like that one. If someone can help out
with making a more formal test case showing this in action, I'll dig into
the details of what's different between that system and the others.
