Binary searching (insert gratuitous rant about benchmarks that take more than two minutes to complete) reveals that the slowdown is due to sched-2.6.0-test2-mm2-A3. So mm4 with everthing up to but not including sched-2.6.0-test2-mm2-A3: Max Jobs per Minute 1467.06 Max Jobs per Minute 1478.82 Max Jobs per Minute 1473.36 3853.55s user 264.31s system 370% cpu 18:31.95 total After adding sched-2.6.0-test2-mm2-A3: Max Jobs per Minute 1375.63 Max Jobs per Minute 1278.40 Max Jobs per Minute 1293.11 4416.70s user 275.61s system 374% cpu 20:53.58 total A 10% regression there, mainly user time.
