As the laptop I use has four cores (8 hyperthreads), I would expect it to be
faster, rather than slower. However, the wall clock time it takes may be
determined by the starting and stopping of the many processes, not so much by
the running of each. That is my impression at least, not based on any kind of
measurement.
