Did you see any performance improvement? We used to have quicklists on ppc, but I remain to be convinced that they actually help.
Also, I didn't understand why we have to do quicklists to take advantage of the fact that the pages are in a pristine state when they are freed. I thought the whole point of the slab allocator was to be able to take advantage of that...
