New code executes slower for some input on one CPU I've benchmarked,
both with -O2 and -Os (Core 2 Duo E6550). The slowdown is in 2-20% range
depending on exact number being converted and is reproducible.
With -O2 "bad" range is roughly 100-70000, with -Os it is 100-1000 and
around 100000.

On another CPU (more modern Core i5-something), new code is uniformly
faster giving advertised 10-20-35-40% speedups (yay!)

The ideal situation is still being
a) one system call to push PIDs into userspace in bulk
(memcpy directly from pid_ns->pidmap[i]),
b) one system call to fetch data in binary to userspace given PID or
set of PIDs,

without all of this string and /proc overhead.

Alexey
