Baseline:
75.18% init [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt
23.32% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt

Gang V2:
73.21% init [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt
25.74% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt

That does not give much clue :(
Comments?

Baseline:
57.75% init [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt
40.88% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt

Gang V2:
56.25% init [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt
42.84% swapper [kernel.kallsyms] [k] native_safe_halt

Similar comparison here.
