I've done a very quick & dirty rewrite with OpenMP instead of Nim threads, and
can get 0.5 seconds instead of 8 seconds.
I think there is too much lock contention when lots of cores are present on the
machine.
Unfortunately it doesn't seem like OpenMP works with Channels so for

I noticed it taking 350% of CPU, which seems too high. Is it supposed to
auto-detect?

Hmm, strange. My CPU load is 100% during the benchmark, almost constantly (with
tiny fluctuations to 99%).
There might be a problem with the multithreading.
Mine is 8.2615s on a i9-9980XE (overclocked to 4.1 GHz).
Hello!
I'd like to announce a new small project of mine – pibench2. It's a
multi-threaded performance benchmark, written in Nim.

Feel free to share your scores. Mine is 5.9649s with the default settings, on
