Yes.

You just cruelly disclosed the fact that I do not use perf.

Thanks. So,

	# perf record -e sched:sched_switch -p1 &
	[1] 516
	# perf bench sched pipe

3 times.

before:

     Total time: 30.119 [sec]

      30.119501 usecs/op
          33201 ops/sec

     Total time: 30.634 [sec]

      30.634105 usecs/op
          32643 ops/sec

     Total time: 30.100 [sec]

      30.100209 usecs/op
          33222 ops/sec


after:

     Total time: 29.645 [sec]

      29.645941 usecs/op
          33731 ops/sec

     Total time: 29.759 [sec]

      29.759075 usecs/op
          33603 ops/sec

     Total time: 29.803 [sec]

      29.803522 usecs/op
          33553 ops/sec

Hmm. Actually sched-pipe.c is a bit more "heavy", it does switch_mm().
And I used taskset. But it seems that this test-case shows the similar
results.

Oleg.
