Turns off all netfilter options except tables, etc. Since 2.6.22.19-cfs-v24.1 and 2.6.23.17-cfs-v24.1 schedulers are identical, and these are essentially identical with 2.6.24.7, what I read from numbers below is that cfs in 2.6.23 was somewhat less than wonderful for either netperf or tbench, Something happened somewhere other than the scheduler at 23->24 which cost us some performance, and another something happened at 26->27. I'll likely go looking again.. and likely regret it again ;-) Math ain't free is part of it, though apparently not much. For me, tbench regression 22->27 is ~10%, and netperf regression is ~16%.

Mysql+oltp agrees. Preempt happy loads lose a bit, preempt haters gain a bit.
