There is no I/0 during the big:bang test. The I/O thread of the smp
emulator will be blocked in poll() during the whole test while the
scheduler threads execute Erlang code. In the non smp emulator the
scheduler thread also have to poll for I/O (quite frequently).
This is definitely contributing, but I don't think it can explain all of it.
