So HyperThreading is off.

But there are still 8 threads.

Can you check how many threads you have on Linux with the same configuration?
Is it possible to tell GotoBLAS to use 4 threads?
If yes, can you also test that scenario?

Also, would it be possible for you to test recent 8-STABLE?
Just for the sake of experiment.
