If I have 16 cores, things are still really loud but I start to not be
able to tell the difference. The percentage of improvement is much lower.
E.g, 16 cores works and PostgreSQL work great, but it is not nearly as
fantastic with 16 cores as 8 cores (in terms percentage gain).
That's not the same thing as slowing down, it just means that scaling
isn't always linear, which isn't surprising.
Right. Which is why I reposted, but it also makes what Simon proposes
that much more attractive *because* it helps the linear problem (in theory).
