With the same benchmark, for the 16X lifting in this patch, about
1/3 of the test platforms (servers, desktops, laptops) will show
improvements (up to 20X for servers, much less on platform with
fewer CPUs).

If we further lift it to 64X, most of the test platforms will
show improvements.

Thanks,
Feng
