I don't have the machine described above so i have tried to reproduce
the problem on my 8 cores cortex A53 platform but I don't have
performance regression.
I have also tried with a VM on a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4810MQ and
haven't seen regression too.

Have you seen the regression on other platform ?

Regards,
Vincent
