@Der Geist der Maschine,
If I understand it correctly, user time is simply the sum of the separate worker threads.
So it makes perfect sense that 1 thread takes 63 minutes real time, 64 minutes user time.
And 2 threads take 33 minutes real time, 64 minutes user time.
Whence the little cores come in the play, it's less of a change, but of course we WANT the user time to increase. The is where the real work is done. As long as the real time is lower.
@geokon,
I've started a Troubleshooting guide on the Wiki. It does not solve the problem of where to report issues, but the intent is to have common problems described, along with common fixes. Here is a link;
Wiki - Pinebook Pro - Troubleshooting guide
For the Pine64 Wiki Troubleshooting guide, I'd suggest we stick to issues that affect more people, happened more than once, or likely to happen in the future to more than one person.
As an example, a new Pinebook Pro owner received his/her Pinebook Pro with the LCD factory protector still on the LCD screen. So far, that's happened to only one person. So my thought is to leave this problem off the Troubleshooting guide.
