About 10 seconds to edit the test; much less to run it ( < 0.01s per core): (

Updated: Improved the tests; de-obfuscated the code.

Editing the number is all that would be required.

Now. How long will it take to re-tune your POE-behemoth based application when moving from running on 4 cores to 256 cores?

From my experience of tuning event-driven systems for different hardware: weeks.
