    you could try switching off the hyperthread. If it's a RAM hog you may see an improvement

    In a situation like that, you may also be losing big time to context switching.

    Fozz, the program runs benchmarks on your system and that becomes the basis for the size of the task queue. Based on looking at the systems I'm running, the faster the system, the more it overshoots its estimate by. That would account for at least some, if not all, of the timing misfit you're seeing.
