Those are super-awesome numbers - so happy to hear this!

I think that specializing `Kernel.workOn` would help as there would be less boxing, but there is still an unnecessary overhead of using the `strategy` to call `findWork`, going through another loop, then reading the config in the `workOn`, etc. It just does much more preparatory work that the simple version above would eliminate.

I think the above does not introduce a lot of additional code, and 12 elements should be worth the effort + I would not even add a size check in that case.
