So I ran 36 instances on a machine with 72 cpus. I did this 10 times and got an average from all instances for all runs to reduce noise: #!/bin/bash ITER=10 NR_INSTANCES=36 for i in $(seq $ITER); do echo "iteration $i" for j in $(seq $NR_INSTANCES); do echo "iteration $i" >> "out$j" ./netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K >> "out$j" & done wait done cat out* | grep 540000 | awk '{sum += $5} END {print sum/NR}' Base: 22169 mbps Patched: 21331.9 mbps The difference is ~3.7% in my runs. I am not sure what's different. Perhaps it's the number of runs?
