Description

I was attempting to run `chantools vanitygen` on an AWS m5.24xlarge using this command:
`chantools vanitygen --prefix 0212345678 --threads 255`
and I only got about a 5x speed improvement over a quad-core laptop.

Any ideas?

This instance should have 96 cores. So was hoping for like a 10-15x improvement.

Research direction

Start by reproducing `chantools vanitygen --prefix 0212345678 --threads 255` on the reported AWS m5.24xlarge and compare its throughput with the quad-core laptop result. The issue is complete when the cause of the limited speedup is identified and the vanity generator's scaling is improved or clearly documented.
