You did the experiment, and credit to you for not going "I did the work, now include it" but rather for publishing the results so we can learn from them.
It *does* make me wonder if we can leverage RTM for a significant subset of these (as an interrupt will abort a transaction); that should be substantially cheaper and less complex.
