Yes, my fault partially, because without much thought I've put "value" 
instead of "x" in the script. Now after replacing it by "id" the tps are 
much smaller.

Here is the tps vs nthreads I did test up to 10 threads on my 24 cpu 
system (I disabled HT though):

Your patch clearly improve the situation (the peak tps is ~ 10% higher), 
but the general picture is the same: flattening of tps vs nthreads.
