Looks better (I just tested.)  Seems to be back to the magic
1.9X (raw NPS is 1.9X faster with two processors than with
1.

Here's the raw data.

one cpu:

             time=1:25  cpu=99%  mat=0  n=85541805  fh=91%  nps=998k
             time=55.41  cpu=99%  mat=0  n=62193826  fh=95%  nps=1122k
             time=1:40  cpu=99%  mat=-1  n=89355667  fh=94%  nps=886k
             time=1:18  cpu=99%  mat=0  n=82339318  fh=92%  nps=1050k

two cpus (SMT off):
             time=49.12  cpu=198%  mat=0  n=91626204  fh=91%  nps=1865k
             time=27.55  cpu=198%  mat=0  n=58868942  fh=95%  nps=2136k
             time=1:00  cpu=198%  mat=-1  n=101092946  fh=94%  nps=1669k
             time=45.56  cpu=197%  mat=0  n=89351627  fh=92%  nps=1961k

four cpus (SMT on):
              time=50.32  cpu=392%  mat=0  n=105665041  fh=91%  nps=2099k
              time=23.92  cpu=388%  mat=0  n=57409674  fh=95%  nps=2400k
              time=57.60  cpu=392%  mat=-1  n=108568676  fh=93%  nps=1884k
              time=40.88  cpu=396%  mat=0  n=91017384  fh=92%  nps=2226k
