Doing several test with '-m 0' I was unable to reproduce this and I could
now do several runs with afdbench. However the results do show that with
ext4-patch-queue it actually slower:
For ext3: 5449.76 files per second 15.58 MiB/s
For ext4: 5162.16 files per second 15.48 MiB/s
For ext4+patch-queue: 4963.6975 files per second 14.73 MiB/s
On the positive side the bonnie++ numbers got much better:

ext3 and ext4 tests where done with 2.6.25.4 and those with patch-queue was
2.6.26-rc5. I will do another test run with 2.6.26-rc5 without patch-queue
just to make sure that the slowdown does not happen due to changes in the
2.6.26 branch.
Here the results without patch queue:
Version 1.03 ------Sequential Output------ --Sequential Input- --Random-

For afdbench: 5336.41 files per second 15.63 MiB/s
So it seems that for afdbench the ext4-patch-queue is a slowdown.
I forgot to mention that for bonnie ext4-patch-queue reduces CPU-load
a lot. For block writting it is nearly halved.
