Marcelo,

Sure :-), there is the simply test result of kernbench:

Before patch:

real    5m6.493s                                                                
user    3m57.847s                                                               
sys     9m7.115s 

real    5m1.750s                                                                
user    4m0.109s                                                                
sys     9m10.192s       


After patch:
real    5m0.140s                                                                
user    3m57.956s                                                               
sys     8m58.339s  

real    4m56.314s                                                               
user    4m0.303s
