Well, my point of view is, you're showing up with more HW than anyone else
regardless.  If that's the case, why not show up with a monster?!  ;)

Just make it detect if CPUs > 2 then make the bench longer.  If you can detect a
difference between SMP & NUMA, I know you can do that!  :)

Imagine the bench command on the 16-way.  The CPUs won't even be able to spin-up
to 100%!!  LOL
