Blwo are numbers and comments from Atsushi Nemoto on two Toshiba TY49
cores with 16K rsp. 32K per primary cache. Each lmbench run was repeated
twice. The numbers taken without the flush_cache_mm hack to dup_mmap(),
so there are those 12% on fork which can easily be obtained in addition
on PIVT caches such as the TX49.

A little bit faster on exec/proc and open/close (why?). Strange
results on sig/hndl and stat on TX49-16K again.
