I can catch the others running if I refresh more often:

etc.
Not sure about baselines. I'm happier because there's more cpu
utilization. kswapd0 is relatively busy so the other ones take some
load off of it. The benchmark isn't quite done yet. I think four
dbench 512's in parallel might be easier to extract results from.
tiobench also looks like it's getting some cpu:
procs memory io system cpu
r b w swpd free buff cache bi bo in cs us sy id
