Is there a way to perform the benchmark with hyperthreading turned off or to account for which logical core being ...

Thank you - what cpu do you have exactly?

The monochrome operation is indeed fantastic. Do you know offhand if this is the kind of operation where throwing more cores at it would result in a faster running time? Is it threaded? Thanks in advance.
