Sure, and here is the result. I applied these 3 patches on v3.15-rc6,
and head commit is 60c10afd. e82e0561 is the old commit that introduced
the regression. The testserver has 512G memory and 120 CPU.

It's a simple result; if you need more data, I can gather them and send
it to you tomorrow:

e82e0561 v3.15-rc6 60c10afd
----------------------------------------
18560785 12232122 38868453
-34% +109

As you can see, the performance is back, and it is way much better ;)
