I’m not sure the cpu load being higher is a bad thing, isn’t that basically showing that it is using less IO so it can use more of the cpu?
The throughput is way, way higher, so it’s using less cpu per transaction. If this were showing equal numbers of transactions the CPU usage would be lower.
Ideally, in a benchmark, I think we’d be seeing basically 100% cpu usage because that would mean the test hardware is being fully utilized and the software being tested isn’t being bottlenecked in some way.
