Just to jump in here: 1.5% slowdown on a workstation is insignificant. 1.5% speedup on a heavy duty server is quite good.
If something like this gets included it would be appropriate and desirable to have the workstation optimization available from the source level (like the IDE driver optimizations). This has two positive effects: 1. The single-user optimizations are available and can be used by the distributions without custom patches. 2. It gives the home "hot-rodder" a hook into learning about the scheduler and an incentive to find it.
