What would be the difference if your test fully saturates the 6 CPU's
?  That would suggest the test is limited by the processing capacity
right now. Less and/or slower CPUs will make it slower. If that's your
application, a small z890 will not make you famous in a good way.

Unless of course the CPU cycles are consumed by something completely
unrelated to your experiment (e.g. some measurement program that does
a busy wait to achieve exact timing measurements, or some java class
that implements a wait by counting with very small steps). In that
case your measurement is not very useful this way.
