Yes.. quite expected result actually. Similar benefits can be seen at
the smaller scale in properly utilizing CPU cache lines and cache
prediction.

Useful, but not revolutionary.

But yes, a VM based store has it's benefits, but for that to work for us
a different design is needed more along the lines of Varnish, making
heavy use of worker threads for mostly every operation, not just one per
core.
