I have got result of lmbench for Context switching (initlevel 1).
I'm running 5 bench with and without patch on a PBG3/400.
Result is in attach. The average is :

Context switching - times in microseconds - smaller is better

What do you think about this result ???
I'm thinking to say something it is necessary to do many bench run !
Here, performance vary too much between two run to really say something.
