Hmm, could you please point to the source package or repo to get the
version of dhrystone you use? I could only find the old shar [1] and a
Debian version with added Makefile [2], but neither seems to produce
multiple threads.
It doesn't seem to be packaged for either Gentoo or Fedora unfortunately.
Indeed, I'm getting higher thermal load (vs. stress-ng --cpu) even by
simply compiling kernel sources, although I'd expect it to wait for
memory and/or IO quite a lot.

Thanks a lot,
