The good news is that the page > table relocation code now only adds a 1.6% slow down to page faults. Do you have CONFIG_CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR=y in 2.6.25? That added about 20% to my lmbench "Page Fault" tests (with adverse effect on several others e.g. the fork, exec, sh group). Try the same kernel with boot option "cgroup_disable=memory", that should recoup most (but not quite all) of the slowdown; or rebuild with n to CGROUP_MEM_RES_CTLR. But your "Mmap Latency" went up 425% ??
