Really ? The commit message did not tell much about it.

How much did time decrease ? How did you measure it ? 

Against which chipset(s) ?

On which motherboard ?

How does it behave on current kernel ?

How many different patches are you testing at the same time ?

Who was able to reproduce it ?

How do you explain it ?
