Ok, let's take a step back and slow it down a bit so that people like me
can understand it: you want to try it with disabled load balancing on
the node level, AFAICT. But with that many tasks, perf will suck anyway,
no? Unless you want to benchmark the numa-aware aspect and see whether
load balancing on the node level feels differently, perf-wise?
