Kevin,
It would be hard to schedule the requisite time on our biggest web machines, but I assume an 8 core 64GB machine would give meaningful results. Any sense what numbers of parallel jobs I should use for tests? I would be tempted to try 1 (with the -1 switch), 8, 12, and 16 -- maybe keep going if 16 beats 12.
Personally, I wouldn't go over the number of cores. But if you do find some gain that way, I'd be very interested to know it.
