Have you tried that with "threads = 1" (there is also a special treatment for high-priority prints in that mode)? So far I guess that most people run with defaults, without any idea of the tuning parameters.

In principle this is an instance of the "too many options" syndrome, but here the implicit change of behaviour on 1 core is merely made explicit. Moreover, according to the "waterbed-syndrome" in its positive sense, it means that options added here inevitably cause other old/obsolete options to be removed faster.
