I think this depends on how many connections you have. If you try to
scale up your benchmark by having hundreds of connections then get
O(n^2) increase in the time spent with the procarray locked. It sounds
like they pinned the number of connections at the number of cores they
had. That makes sense if they're intentionally driving a cpu-bound
benchmark but it means they won't run into this problem.
