To make sense of the output of the parallel execution test (preferably
without reading the source!), we need to see the various measurements
that it makes, specifically: time/batch on each engine separately, total
time across all engines sequentially, and the time/batch when the work
is distributed over all engines in parallel.
Since we know the per-batch time on the slowest engine (which will
determine the minimum possible execution time of any equal-split
parallel test), we can also calculate a new figure representing the
degree to which work on the faster engines is overlapped with that on
the slowest engine, and therefore does not contribute to the total time.
Here we choose to present it as a percentage, with parallel-time==serial
time giving 0% overlap, up to parallel-time==slowest-engine-
time/n_engines being 100%. Note that negative values are possible;
values greater than 100% may also be possible, although less likely.
