Hm, seems there's at least one shared L2 case where that's untrue by
more than a tiny margin, which surprised me rather a lot.

For grins, I tested netperf on my dinky rpi4b, and while its RR numbers
seem kinda odd, they're also seemingly repeatable (ergo showing them).
I measured a very modest cross-core win on a shared L2 Intel CPU some
years ago (when Q6600 was shiny/new) but nothing close to these deltas.

Makes me wonder what (a tad beefier) Bulldog RR numbers look like.
