CPU processing is like a free way with 8 lanes. If all the cars (calculations) are trying to use one lane you will see a traffic jam and all cars will drastically slow down. When the program is coded to use 6 lanes, it will distribute the cars across all lanes and have a much higher bandwidth.

Previously 2 of 8 lanes were car pool only (OS), and have now 1 of those carpool lanes has been opened up to other traffic. Previously, carpoolers had 2 lanes to themselves (limited traffic) and didn't have issues with slow downs. Now that 1 of those lanes has been opened up to the general public - the general public will have less congestion -- but the car poolers have only 1 lane.

But the car poolers probably became more efficient and started to share cars so 1 lane is sufficient
