FWIW, I've let a machine run the series with individual patches applied
on 3.13 with my compaction patches, so 6 is the end of my series and 7-11 yours:
The average is of 10 runs (in case you wonder how that's done, the success rates are
calculated with a new R support that's pending Mel's merge; system time and vmstats
are currently a hack, but I hope to add R support for them as well, and maybe publish
to github or something if there's interest).
Interestingly, you have a much lower success rate and also much lower compaction cost
and, well, even the benchmark times. Wonder what difference in config or hw causes this.
You seem to have THP disabled, I enabled, but that would be weird to cause this.
Anyway, it seems nothing statistically significant happens here. But the patches make
sense so this is not an argument against them :)
