By looking at your graph, that's around a 10% difference.

So I'm not seeing anywhere near as bad a regression on a 80-core box.
Testing single with 80 warehouses, I get:

tip/master baseline:
677476.36 bops
705826.70 bops
704870.87 bops
681741.20 bops 
707014.59 bops

Avg: 695385.94 bops

tip/master + patch (NUMA_SCALE/8 variant):
698242.66 bops
693873.18 bops 
707852.28 bops
691785.96 bops 
747206.03 bopsthis 

Avg: 707792.022 bops

So both these are pretty similar, however, when reverting, on avg we
increase the amount of bops a mere ~4%:

tip/master + reverted:
778416.02 bops 
702602.62 bops 
712557.32 bops 
713982.90 bops
783300.36 bops

Avg: 738171.84 bops

Are there perhaps any special specjbb options you are using?
