Given this example code, where we uncomment one of the commented lines (and yeah, this is a
very slow way to do a Range, but I didn't actually implement ranges yet):

    my $i = 0;
    my $nums := GLRSeq.from-loop({ ++$i }, { $i < 100000 });
    my @b := GLRArrayCircumfix();
#    @b = $nums.GLRmap({ next unless .is-prime; $_ });
#    @b = $nums.race(:degree(1)).GLRmap({ next unless .is-prime; $_ });
#    @b = $nums.race(:degree(2)).GLRmap({ next unless .is-prime; $_ });
#    @b = $nums.race(:degree(3)).GLRmap({ next unless .is-prime; $_ });
#    @b = $nums.race(:degree(4)).GLRmap({ next unless .is-prime; $_ });
    die 'oops' unless @b.elems == 9592;

I get (on my unloaded quad core machine):

* Without .race: 24.6s
* With .race(:degree(1)): 25.7s (don't pay off the overhead, but we see it's not crazy overhead)
* With .race(:degree(2)): 15.7s
* With .race(:degree(3)): 13.0s
* With .race(:degree(4)): 11.9s
