Impressive! A PCIe NVMe drive will be a boost, but don't expect
too much, when you already have so much RAM. And electric power. ;-)

My experiments with parallel threads were a bit sobering. You
really need rather isolated subprocesses that require little
synchronisation. Otherwise the slowest process plus additional
syncing costs can eat up all the expected benefits. Nothing new.
