It would be useful to see a full breakdown of those results.

There's always a bottleneck on something for any particular task and we
shouldn't presume the problem is only on CPU, for all data on all
systems. CPU parallelism is the most pressing problem, I agree, but I
think we will quickly hit problems without memory limits. But I agree
with Andrew that this will be a nice problem to have and not everything
is possible by Nov 1.
