True.

I made three tests:
- STGT (with standard Debian Lenny kernel)
- SCST with default build options (i.e. no "make debug2perf"), no kernel 
patches (standard Debian Lenny kernel)
- SCST + "make debug2perf", with kernel patches (Debian Lenny .config + 
SCST patches and proper option enabled)

I'll post the results shortly.
