Thanks for running those tests. The numbers are not that bad, but
definitely not as good as we saw on some other platforms. But its
possible that they may improve in percentage terms with even more
number of clients on this box. And given that we are seeing big gains
on other platforms, hopefully it will give us confident to proceed
with the patch.

Thanks,
Pavan
