If multi-threaded was always worse in every respect, nobody would do it.

But my point is that if you serve many concurrent clients on CPU-intensive jobs, that alone will load the cores, and you don't want to increase the cycles needed by multi-threading each job. By contrast, successful single-thread optimization will reduce the cycles needed for each job, which will be more useful in this kind of setting.
