So looking at the basics on HSW:gt3e, comparing mesa + throttle
improvements and this patch, we see a consistent improvement throughout
the synmark suite, of anything between 4 - 16%. That is actually
reassuring as one of my main worries is that this patch will acerbate
fallout from thermal throttling. However, a quick look at a few games
suggests that any improvement here is well into the noise, if any.
