the strange case is the scale 100 standby's slow start, followed by a steady increase during -c 1, then -c 10, and finally getting up to speed with -c 20 (and up). And these slow-but-growing standby series are interspersed with normal (high-speed) primary series. I'll try to repeat this pattern on other hardware; although if my tests were run with faulty hardware I wouldn't know how/why that would give the above effect (such a 'regular aberration'). testing is more difficult than I thought...
