Ditto with pipe benchmark.

"perf bench sched pipe" was run 10 times and average ops/sec score
alongwith std. dev is noted as below.
SD_BALANCE_WAKE SD_BALANCE_WAKE
disabled enabled
Avg. score 108984.900 111844.300 (+2.6%)
std dev 20383.457 21668.604
Note:
SD_BALANCE_WAKE for SMT/MC domain was enabled by writing into appropriate
flags file present in /proc:
# cd /proc/sys/kernel/sched_domain/
# for i in `find . -name flags | grep domain1`; do echo 4671 > $i; done
# for i in `find . -name flags | grep domain0`; do echo 703 > $i; done
