p16s: Lidar frequency on Gazebo sim is staying slow at 12 hz while ppl on other hosts seeing 14+ hz

Tech investigation for the thing I'm seeing on this.

SilverBench · online multicore CPU benchmarking service (uses only JavaScript) to benchmark computer (PC or mobile device) performance using a photon mapping rendering engine. Three benchmark options available—Performance, Extreme, and Stress test. The photon mapping is performed by CPU alone (no GPU is used). Stress test is useful for CPU burn-in, temperature, and stability testing.

Today re-ran and got:

• P11k
• x888 (extreme test that seems to take priority on all cpu cores?)

And a coworker who is seeing 15hz lidar rate on the laptop ran p908??? So worse than mine?

Backburnering. While this is concerning for sure, for now this is only happening on my computer among other computers my coworkers are using, so impact is low from that sense.
