What processor and number of threads are using the engines?
You can use the Banksia GUI with the new feature of independent concurrency for GPU and play it faster. See

http://talkchess.com/forum3/viewtopic.p ... start=1210

Unfortunately Cutechess doesn't support it.

For example in a 16 threads CPU you can use Concurrency 6, with 2 threads for engine and play 6 games at the same time, 5 of only CPU and 1 GPU with 4 threads free.

I remember that some years ago, I read in your page the first time of using concurrency to play faster tournaments running several intances of Arena and Rebel. I tried it and it was incredible!

That's an interesting suggestion, at the same time I must say I never tried Banksia. Regarding your question, I use 20 cores on a 24 core PC.
