Subject: [PATCH] Fix a slightly non-deterministic behavior in the Monoids
 benchmark

When built with output enabled, sometimes a few lines would be
interchanged, depending on the order in which parallel tasks
complete. Simplify the dispatcher logic a bit to ensure we get
the same output ordering every time.

This does not impact the running time of the benchmark.
