The max requestlist van 1031 - which is pretty big - it was exceeded
10926 times.  Thus, you are still under-capacity.  I think that explains
the timeouts.

You paste only the statistics for thread 0.  The others are the same?
Or are there no others (?).

Did you recompile without threading? In that case, do you have 1.5g * 8
= 12 Gb memory for all the threads? If not scale back the cache sizes,
otherwise you start swapping and slowing down. Divide the cache size by
8 perhaps.

If you recompiled with libevent, then the memory is not the issue. An in
that case I would suggest trying --with-libevent, and outgoing-range:
2048 and num-queries-per-thread: 2048 to get additional capacity.

Best regards,
   Wouter
