Blindly testing on an i5-5200U (2.2/2.7 GHz) gave the following

# perf bench sched messaging --pipe --thread --group 2 --loop 20000

count mean std min 50% 95% 99% max
hostname kernel
i5-5200U test_after 30.0 13.843433 0.590605 12.369 13.810 14.85635 15.08205 15.127
test_before 30.0 13.571167 0.999798 12.228 13.302 15.57805 16.40029 16.690

It might be interesting to see what happens when using a single CPU
only?

Also, I will look at how the util signals look when a single CPU is
busy..
