Single thread performance (green) will always have a higher degree of variability than multi-thread performance (yellow) which tends to average/smooth across the individual streams to maximise the overall throughput - in this case across 6 single-threaded streams.
Think of it like traffic in a multi-lane motorway - one or more lanes can be relatively slow and the third may move faster.
