I think it proves your point that there is a value in going for step
size greater than 64. However, I think the difference at higher sizes
is not significant. For example, the difference between 8192 and
16384 doesn't seem much if we leave higher worker count where the data
could be a bit misleading due to variation. I could see that there is
a clear and significant difference till 1024 but after that difference
is not much.
