Thanks for testing this! Could you please try this also with:

   echo 100000000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity

on the same system, so that we can get a complete set of numbers? Just 
to make sure that lowering the preemption frequency indeed has the 
expected result of moving kernbench numbers back to mainline levels. (if 
not then that would indicate some CFS buglet)

could you maybe even try a more extreme setting of:

   echo 500000000 > /proc/sys/kernel/sched_granularity

for kicks? This would allow us to see how much kernbench we lose due to 
preemption granularity. Thanks!
