Hi,

While testing hackbench with 3.11-rc1 I observed hackbench testcase
took too long to complete (32 vcpu kvm guest on 32 core HT off machine).

hackbench 1x degraded by 3 time (40sec vs 112sec)
hackbench 2x degraded by around 20time (90sec vs 1800 sec)

When I bisected, I found that I had CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL
accidentally disabled.
I understand that  CONFIG_SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL=y by default and the config
option is to provide determinism for RT kernels and thus it is not a
problem.
But thought of sharing this here so that if somebody runs into same 
issue accidently, it would save their time.

Incidentally, what difference do you currently get with SLUB and SLAB ?

tested now,
hackbench 1x is  almost 2 times slower (40 vs 93)
hackbench 2x is almost 6times slower   (90sec vs 528)
