What I want to try next is running the inference on a computer with more CPUs. I am running this currently on a `i9-10980XE CPU @ 3.00GHz` , which seems to have 18 cores: [Intel® Core™ i9-10980XE Extreme Edition Processor (24.75M Cache, 3.00 GHz) Product Specifications](https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us/en/ark/products/198017/intel-core-i9-10980xe-extreme-edition-processor-24-75m-cache-3-00-ghz.html) … And I can see in `glances` (like `top`) that as the inference is running, I see `1800%` cpu usage. I am going to try it next on a 36 core cpu and benchmark the difference.
