There is a difference between cores and threads. Think of cores as physical and 
threads, always 2x cores, as virtual.  Some cores are not hyperthreading.  Some 
linux report cores in use, not threads. 2400 x 2 is 48 threads.

Indeed, doing a chain refine, I see 1500% ...

COOT_N_THREADS was not set for this test, setting it to 80 does not
change anything.
