It's definitely a regression. I'm trying to pin it down, but the
3.2.0-24 kernel didn't do the CPU drain down to single-digits on that
client load test. I'm working on 3.2.0-30 and going down to figure out
which patch might have done it.

Older kernels performed better. And by older, I mean 2.6. Still not 3.4
levels, but that's expected. I haven't checked 3.0, but other threads
I've read suggest it had less problems. Sorry if I wasn't clear.
