For the above numbers I used mmtest as test framework with 2x<NR CPUs>,
that is 128.

Yeah, I consider the kernel benchmark not as a good workload to figure
out what's going on. It's more like to see something is hiding. The
micro benchmarks I used so far couldn't highlight the problem(s). I
guess more testing is needed.
