If we boot machine with slub_min_order=3, SLUB overhead disappears.
I'd rather not be that drastic. Did you try increasing slub_min_objects
instead? Try 40-100. If we find the right number then we should update
the tuning to make sure that it pickes the right slab page sizes.
4096/192 = 21
with slub_min_objects=22 :

# time ./socket8

I would say slub_min_objects=45 is the optimal value on 32bit arches to
get acceptable performance on this workload (order=2 for filp kmem_cache)
Note : SLAB here is disastrous, but you already knew that :)
