I could do without the territoriality about threads, if you please.
Threads take multiple people to discuss them; they are 'owned' by the
participants.

A test of IO, perhaps?  I think testing IO is very different than
testing CPU performance.  Why the 4K limit on reading input?

Are you referring to 'one vs. many profiles', or to 'grossly distinct' ?
The former is a horse beaten to death.  The latter we haven't much
talked about, hence the title of this thread.

In either case, reasoning has been offered.  When you say the reasoning
offered isn't logical, that's just your opinion and others don't
necessarily agree with you.
