It's really ungainly to work with -- but it does drop the cycle counts to solve the problems by running more threads.

What's really funny is when the program's trivially paralellizable (any of them where the entire thing to draw fits in memory) and the main thing your threads are doing is to start more threads, then finally all the threads do 2 draw instructions each.
