The patch helps, but does not get us back to where we were before:
Baseline: 3c8fb5044 with ac1bea85781e9004d reverted:
root@...box:~/will-it-scale# ./open1_processes -t 160 -s 30
...
average:57710064
3c8fb5044 with Paul's early version with the magic 7:
root@...box:~/will-it-scale# ./open1_processes -t 160 -s 30
...
average:48363361
It was down at 43M or 44M without the new patch.
