On my 8-core stoakley, there is no such regression. Below data is after testing.

[root@lkp-st02-x8664 ~]# slabinfo -AD
Name Objects Alloc Free %Fast
:0000192 3170 80055388 80052280 92 1
:0000512 316 80012750 80012466 69 1
vm_area_struct 2642 194700 192193 94 16
:0000064 3846 74468 70820 97 53
:0004096 15 69014 69012 98 97
:0000128 1447 32920 31541 91 8
dentry 13485 33060 19652 92 42
:0000080 10639 23377 12953 98 98
:0000096 1662 16496 15036 99 94
:0000832 232 14422 14203 85 10
:0000016 2733 15102 13372 99 14

So the block 192 and 512's fast free percentage is even smaller than the ones on tigerton.

Oprofile data on stoakley:

CPU: Core 2, speed 2660 MHz (estimated)
Counted CPU_CLK_UNHALTED events (Clock cycles when not halted) with a unit mask of 0x00 (Unhalted core cycles) count 100000
