I've done measurements on the patched kernel. All that remains is to do
measurements on the baseline unpached case. To summarize the results
thusfar,

Altogether, it seems that something is horribly wrong, most likely with
my test (or rsync patch). I'll do the baseline benchmarks today.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
