Did a bit of testing and thought I'd post the result here.
I tried this with DeepSeek using SGLang on Threadripper box. The headline result was better than I expected, but KV cache pressure still ended up being the limiting factor.
Nothing scientific here, just practical notes from a real setup.
I care more about stability than squeezing the last possible tokens/sec out of it.
If I had to summarize the lesson so far, it would be that clean setup and observability beat clever guesses.
