Using next-20231009 and a similar 44 core machine with hyperthreading
disabled, I ran 22 instances of netperf in parallel and got the
following numbers from averaging 20 runs:

Base: 33076.5 mbps
Patched: 31410.1 mbps

That's about 5% diff. I guess the number of iterations helps reduce
the noise? I am not sure.

Please also keep in mind that in this case all netperf instances are
in the same cgroup and at a 4-level depth. I imagine in a practical
setup processes would be a little more spread out, which means less
common ancestors, so less contended atomic operations.
