Yeah. I also did some measurements on quicklists on x86_64 and it seems 
that caching page table pages is also useful:

no quicklist

pte_alloc               1569048 4.3s(401ns/2.7us/179.7us)
pmd_alloc                780988 2.1s(337ns/2.7us/86.1us)

pgd_alloc                260022 1s(920ns/4us/263.1us)
