I understand your concern. But the problem with SPARC is that the single-core
performance is rather low and the architectures have a lot of cores to compensate
for that. Thus, if a test requires higher single-core performance, it will fail
here.

I have performed a lot of tests on the porterbox and tried to reduce the test
limitations as much as possible, so that the changes that I have requested are
as minimal as possible.
