I see that
d) patched + PREEMPT_AUTO=y voluntary preemption CONFIG_PREEMPT,
PREEMPT_RCU = y
All the results at 80% confidence
case (d)
HashJoin 0%
Graph500 0%
XSBench +1.2%
NAS-ft +2.1%
In general averages are better for all the benchmarks but at 99%
confidence there seem to be no difference.
Overall looks on par or better for case (d)
