The results are that stable? A kernel compilation which slightly
rearranges cachelines due to code and data changes typically leads to a
larger variance on my 8 way box (gets even larger under NUMA). I would
expect that the variations on a database load would be more significant.

I repeatedly saw patches from Intel to do minor changes to SLAB that
increase performance by 0.5% or so (like the recent removal of a BUG_ON
for performance reasons). These do not regress again when you build a
newer kernel release?
