Note that the Linus kernel has allocated twice as much memory. What does that
mean exactly? The user/system/wall time is also twice as high. Somehow I
don't think you are having an equal test.

I thought that was strange myself, which is why I metioned it in the begining.
Also when I seen the results I reran the tests, all in single user mode,
freshreboot, put linux single on the CL, voila, sh mtest01.sh & mpg123 some.mp3,
and there is my test. I know the numbers are crazy and I also know the
importance of having all other variables the same.
