This has further increased SPECjbb from 203k/sec to 207k/sec,
i.e. it's now 5% faster than mainline - THP enabled.
The profile is now totally flat even during a full 32-WH SPECjbb
run, with the highest overhead entries left all related to timer
IRQ processing or profiling. That is on a system that should be
very close to yours.
Thanks,
Ingo
