Ok here are the results for 1,4,16, and 64 procs on stock 2.6.13 and
2.6.13 plus the patch.

the tests were run three times and averaged with the std. dev in parens

Kernel	1 proc		4 procs		16 procs	64 procs
--	--		--		--		--
stock	4580 (29)	14757 (215)	15246 (244)	15317 (52)
patched	4556 (51)	14694 (116)	15320 (293)	15390 (38)

delta	-0.05 %		-0.04 %		+0.05 %		+0.05 %

In all cases except 64 procs, the std. deviation is bigger than the
difference.
