I gathered some data with only 1 DB instance running (which also has 52% 
slow
down). Following are the numbers of pick_next_task() calls and their avg 
cost
for patch 12 and patch 15. The total number of calls seems to be similar 
but the
avg cost (in us) has more than doubled. For both the patches I had put 
the DB
instance into a cpu tagged cgroup.

                              patch12 patch15
count pick_next_task         62317898 58925395
avg cost pick_next_task      0.6566323209   1.4223810108
