The suggestion is always to measure such things not at a ramp-up
time (75 seems to be the max for your machine), but at a steady state.

Y may wish to look at the steady run-time slot and to adjust
the number of cycles accordingly.
Besides that, you can see CAPS number, which is at a steady stage
the number of cycles, that all your virtual clients are doing each second.

Besides that, the following conversation may be of your interest:
