It's all different in suble ways, but those changes should only
show up in the system time accounting, not user time accounting.
One change that I would expect to show up in user space performance
is different TLB management, in a way that causes increased flushing
and reloading of page table entries. I don't have the slightest
idea if or in what ways that has changed. Maybe Ben has a clue
about this.
