Yep, because with the sysctl we still run all the accounting code. So
esp things like the hackbench run are meaningless (note that even the
CONFIG thing doesn't take out everything).

Also, I think it makes sense to always (also) compare against the
"performance" governor. That way you can see the drop in absolute
performance etc..
