The performance graphs look promising, but the second graph in the Parallelism section seems suspect to me. Why didn't they plot the graph out to 8 threads, like they did with the first graph?

Edit: I don't mean to sound snarky, I'm definitely impressed.

So we scale up to (num_cores - 1). We have 8-way and a 4-way machines. I'll update the page to make this clear.
Even if the perf nosedives after (n - 1) threads, it would be nice to see on the graph.
