$ ../lkp-tests/stats/netperf  < rc2.log
Throughput_tps: 12759.701875000002
Throughput_total_tps: 204155.23000000004
workload: 61246569.000000015

$ ../lkp-tests/stats/netperf  < with-holdout.log
Throughput_tps: 12863.416875
Throughput_total_tps: 205814.67
workload: 61744401.00000001

So this definitely depends on the .config because in my case, *with* the
holdout patch it is better vs plain 5.11-rc2.

Thx.
