Are you sure about this result? I ran similar tests here and found that
there was a major regression introduced near there but it was commit
05b843012335 ("mm: memcontrol: use root_mem_cgroup res_counter") that
cause the problem and it was later reverted. On local tests on a 4-node
machine, commit 3484b2de9499df23c4604a513b36f96326ae81ad was within 1%
of the previous commit and well within the noise.
