No ... this is insane, you don't understand what a bottleneck is.... this is your problem.

Lumber company can supply enough lumber to build the a house in a week.

The nail company can supply enough nails to build 1 house per week.

Day 1.... enough nails arrive, some lumber arrives. Day 2, day 3, day 4.... one week lumber arrives. Fastest the house builder can build houses is 1 per week, the nail company is not the RATE LIMITER, the lumber company is...

i think i know what he is reffering to, it seems he says that there is some sort of pipeline an each thread gets processed one after another, hencethe "1/10 + 1/100 000".

I dont know much about programing, but i think this form of programing is kinda "antique", even on a singel core machine you can try to run more threads parallel where its possible.
