I ran 60-second netperf TCP_RR benchmarks with various thread counts over
two machines, both four quad-core Opterons. I ran the trials ten times
each with both vanilla per-cpu#for-next at 9288f99 and with v6 of this
patchset. The transfer rates were virtually identical showing no
improvement or regression with this patchset in this benchmark.

[ As I reported in http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=123839191416472,
this benchmark continues to be the most significant regression slub has
compared to slab. ]
