This solution has been used by both database and java on other OSs and

me a while to get performance folks to run a full TPC-C workload. They 
did see a 3% improvement in tpcc as I noted in commit log and that is a 
significant improvement.

3% for such a change seems pretty worthless... I would have expected
this having to impact performance much more.
