I have tried the tests again and found that I have forgotten to increase
max_worker_processes due to which the data is so different. Basically
at higher client count it is just scanning lesser number of blocks in
fixed chunk approach. So today I again tried with changing
max_worker_processes and found that there is not much difference in
performance at higher client count. I will take some more data for
both block_by_block and fixed_chunk approach and repost the data.
