Only 16Gb of RAM (feeling slightly inadequate). Not seeing any problems with VLC freezing or any other apps and running stuff through Wayfire.

It could be that for some reason only one core is actually running. One way to test that, start compiling gcc or something and run htop. If setup right, it will display a bar graph for each core/thread. If you don't see the number that you should, then yea, the kernel config could be a issue or the mobo settings one. I'm sure someone with a similar setup will share a config soon. Just something you might want to check in the meantime. Dale :-) :-)
