Hi peixoto,

This is interesting. I tried your suggestion. It indeed worked well in terms of balancing the threads. I can see all of them at 100% now, on the 4CPU machine.

Although... the computation is MUCH slower!

Details:

- ''Unmodified'': 57 iterations, **12s** compute time (for some reason it's faster than before (18s) - I guess the machine had some side workload before (or might have been swapping))
- ''Modified'': 57 iterations, **~19s** compute time

I tested several times. And I also tested giving its process a "niceness" value of -19 to be sure it's the main CPU process. 
None of those run swapped, plenty of memory was still available.

I am not quite sure what's going on here.
