My LKP testing system most focus on server platforms. I tested your per
cpu partial set on hackbench and netperf loopback benchmark. hackbench
improve much.

Maybe some IO testing is low concurrency for SLUB, maybe a few jobs
kbuild? or low swap press testing.  I may try them for your patchset in
the near days. 

BTW, some testing results for your PCP SLUB:

for hackbench process testing: 
on WSM-EP, inc ~60%, NHM-EP inc ~25%
on NHM-EX, inc ~200%, core2-EP, inc ~250%. 
on Tigerton-EX, inc 1900%, :) 

for hackbench thread testing: 
on WSM-EP, no clear inc, NHM-EP no clear inc
on NHM-EX, inc 10%, core2-EP, inc ~20%. 
on Tigertion-EX, inc 100%, 

for  netperf loopback testing, no clear performance change.
