Yeah, they're back to back repeats.  Using dirt simple massive_intr
didn't help clarify aim7 oddity.

aim7 is fully repeatable, seems to be saying that consolidation of small
independent jobs is a win, that spreading before fully saturated has its
price, just as consolidation of large coordinated burst has its price.

Seems to cut both ways.. but why not, everything else does.
