Well if multiple slabs are merged then there is potential pressure on the
per node locks if huge amounts of objects are concurrently retrieved from
the per node partial lists by two different subsystems. So cache merging
can increase contention and thereby reduce performance. What you did with
tuning is to reduce that contention by increasing the per cpu pages that
do not require locks.
