It would be interesting to see what kind of difference there is in network performance (which would certainly impact multi-player games), since sockets require _tons_ of syscalls.

Michael, your tests were mentioned in non linux computer press. That is some feat.

Would be interesting to see Westmere benches.

Also, were the tests CPU or GPU-bound? It would be normal that there's no perf difference if the GPU is the bottleneck instead of the CPU.

Did you test frame pacing stability? Because if the context switches aren't frequent enough to affect FPS, but still enough to affect frame pacing, then it would be a big issue.

Wouldn't an NVIDIA card inclusion be more interesting since they rely on software scheduling?
