These effects do not appear when I build a native 64-bit application and when I build a 32-bit application without wide ints (which could also be called "native").

The two different 32-bit applications (with or without wide ints) show another behaviour on my multi-core system when launched with -Q: one CPU core has constantly 100 % load when launched with -Q.
