WRT consistency, a second set of runs indicates it's very consistent.
And the user time is down significantly too. These are all averages
of 5 runs to start with (well, averages of the median 3 runs of 5).
Same for the profiles.

The copy to/from user stuff may be noise, but page_remove_rmap and
atomic_dec_and_lock are certainly happier. Second set of runs gives:
