A good point - that can be checked on Win8 using PerfMon: http://www.thewindowsclub.com/how-to-use-perfmon-performance-monitor-windows , selecting the counter Logical Disk...Average Disk Queue Length as a first cut. My understanding is an average value over 2 probably means a bottleneck.

>Perhaps the problem is not CPU-bound but rather IO-bound? (i.e. the bottleneck is in disc I/O rather than lack of "number-crunching" ability of CPU)
