I tried with CLOG 24 also and I got linear performance upto 1250 users
after which it started to tank. 32 got us to 1350 users before some
other bottleneck overtook it.
Based on what Tom said earlier, it might then make sense to make it a
tunable with the default of 8 but something one can change for high
number of users.
Thanks.
