The apps use a lot of timer.
Something is rotten. 3.14-rt contains that commit, I ran your test with
256 threads on 64 core box, saw ~4%.
Putting master/nopreempt config on box and doing the same test, box is
chewing up truckloads of CPU, but not from migrations.

Oh, 256 * usleep(100) is not a great idea.
