Here's what I get on FX-8120 at stock clocks (3.1 GHz base, 4.0 GHz turbo):
Non-OpenMP build:

Assuming that non-OpenMP was at 4.0 GHz and 8 threads were at 3.1 GHz,
this is 79% efficiency:
717852/(146448*8*3.1/4) = 0.79
which is very good for a CPU that is not fully 8-core.
Without that assumption about CPU clock rate changes, there's only a
4.9x increase between one and 8 threads, though.
I might benchmark this with turbo disabled later.
