For myself, this was justified by simply refactoring the common code.
However, x11perf -aa10text on pnv:
before: 1.28 Mglyph/sec
after: 1.45 Mglyph/sec
I have my SNB box doing a more thorough analysis of the difference for
various pwrite sizes (assuming that the likelihood of faulting is not
totally workload dependent.)
