Hi Tom That was my expectation too. We didn't do the full analysis yet, It could be that RSS was not spreading the workload on all the cores evenly. Those numbers are from my humble machine with a quick and dirty testing, the idea of this submission is to let the folks look at the code while we continue testing and analyzing those patches. Anyway we will share more accurate results when we have them, with CPU utilization statistics as well. Thanks, Saeed. > Tom >
