-noint is just backing out the interactivity patch (part of your patch)
Not sure that's helping you much really, but maybe it conflicts with
your other stuff.

It seems that you're decreasing system time significantly, but increasing
user time if you have lots of tasks ... context switch thrash, maybe?
Would be interesting if you know which of the many patches in there make
the performance difference ... the whole thing is a bit too big to pick
up and maintain easily ;-)
