Why did you set the number of 1000 threads? Does it show to be the more performatic when threads = auto?
I have used stress tool in a larger test bed (10 nodes) and my optimal setup was 24 threads. To check this you must monitor the stress node, both the CPU and I/O. And give it a try with fewer threads.
