Thanks for the review.

I was afraid that the differences would be noticeable but they aren't:
At least on my laptop, the differences between the patches are within 
the noise:

# ./cat /proc/stat | grep ctxt;./osim 2 2 1000000 0 0;cat /proc/stat | 
grep ctxt
runtime: stock    patch 1    patch 1-4
2,0088875    2,041084    1,997367

# ./cat /proc/stat | grep ctxt;./osim 2 20 1000000 0 0;cat /proc/stat | 
grep ctxt
4,32541    4,295956    4,277817

(assuming 2 cpus, otherwise increase "2" and "20" accordingly)
