Your data still doesn't make any sense. I have asked about that in the
previous submission and you haven't really clarified anything. How come
your task-clock has almost doubled. You are likely not not comparing
apples to apples or something weird is going on.
This patch is not going to fly without a sensible data and analysis of
that data.
Thanks!
