(also you can set the partition count back).
The first few runs of my test with the suggested change made the
multithreaded queries even slower by a factor of two.
E.g. 44 seconds for multithreaded vs ~ 7sec single threaded.
(with the default 9.2beta I get ~ 14-22sec for multithreaded run)
But now after another few reruns of my test, i see again this variability
in times for multithreaded runs. It went down to 18-22seconds. Then again
to 44 sec. So overall the change you suggested either doesn't improve
the situation or makes it worse .
