Not only is this a terrible collection of microbenchmarks, it doesn't
sound like your test setup was manipulating process affinities. So it
was realistic only for random interactive usage and not OpenMP or MPI,
where the runtime libraries manipulate the process affinities.

Please, please, shoot this benchmark in the head and bury it very
deep. So to speak.
