If you've got some code, I'm happy to take a look.

You could start with these:

Anything in particular you're looking for?

I don't have access to the Zulip chat, but the other benchmarks are basically testing allocating in a hot loop. I'm not surprised that doesn't scale linearly, and it's certainly not representative of real world code I've ever written.

If you have code you wrote to achieve something and hit a wall with scaling, I'm happy to take a look.

Up to 4 threads I usually see linear scaling as well, but it begins to drop off afterwards, although I don't have a representative example at hand.

I'd like to see a good example if you have one available, most of my performance work was done in a single-threaded context until now

I don't really have anything off hand.

But code primarily slowed down by pointer chasing down big maps, which is MillenialMan's complaint and fits my own experience, will absolutely be sped up linearly.

A bunch of cores sitting around waiting for the next HAMT node to come in will not interfere with each other in the slightest.
