Performance is not just CPU, but also disk and startup time. AS influences
startup time and CPU (and maybe also Disk when not piped).

With a first of its kind benchmark, I'm a bit hesitant to assume it is
similar enough for a binwriter platform.

Yes, but the amount of CPU of a single compiler run increases, possibly
changing the CPU/Disk balance. So one artificially increases CPU need (AS),
and then "shows" that -j remedies that somewhat.
