This thread is interesting.

I was wondering if anyone has ever seen speedups of 2x or better with 
PDL_AUTOPTHREAD_TARG > 2? I find it tends to max out at around 1.5-1.7x 
whatever I set.

I know about overhead etc. but kind of feel for some of the basic stuff (e.g. 
A=B*C for large arrays with big chunks) I should see 4x for 
PDL_AUTOPTHREAD_TARG=4 and never do)

The various numbers in the tests reported by Ed show <2x.

Nice getting faster than C!
