That is the wrong direction to go into.
We'll be completely screwed on NuMA with the classzone patch. I've said so before, I'll say so again.
The basic approach of the classzone patch is _wrong_, in making global decisions where no "globality" exists.
I bet that the improvements are from other things, not from classzone itself. An dI will bet that if we start doing classzones, we'll regret it a LOT in a few years.
