This is all quite bizarre. Judging from these numbers, the benchmark
seems to be no sensitive to HT at all (while, e.g., sysbenchcpu was),
when on baremetal. In VMs, at least in most cases, things are
significantly *faster* with HT off. Which I know is something that can
happen, I just was not expecting it from this workload.
Also, core scheduling is a total disaster on baremetal. And its
behavior in VM is an anti-pattern too.
So, I guess I'll go trying to see if I did something wrong when
configuring or running this particular benchmark. If that is not the
case, then core scheduling has a serious issue when dealing with
threads instead than with processes, I would say.
