Tested on a similar platform E5-2697 v2 @ 2.70GHz which has 2 nodes,
24 cores/48 CPUs in total, however I could not reproduce the issue.
Since the regression was reported mainly against 224 and 448 copies case
on your platform, I tested unixbench shell1 with 4 x 48 = 192 copies.

There is no much difference with a53ce18cacb477dd applied or not.

Previously with 829c1651e9c4a6f introduced, there is 8.6% improvement. And this improvement
remains with a53ce18cacb477dd applied.

Can you send the full test script so I can have a try locally?

thanks,
