I confirm that SPECjbb2005 1.07 -Xmx4g regresses in terms of throughput on 
my 16-way, 4 node system with 32GB of memory using 16 warehouses and 240 
measurement seconds.  I averaged the throughput for five runs on each 
kernel.

Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_06-b02)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 10.0-b22, mixed mode)

Both kernels have
CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE=y
CONFIG_TRANSPARENT_HUGEPAGE_ALWAYS=y

numa/core at 01aa90068b12 ("sched: Use the best-buddy 'ideal cpu' in 
balancing decisions") with

CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_NUMA_BALANCING=y
CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_NUMA_GENERIC_PGPROT=y
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING=y
CONFIG_NUMA_BALANCING_HUGEPAGE=y
CONFIG_ARCH_USES_NUMA_GENERIC_PGPROT=y
CONFIG_ARCH_USES_NUMA_GENERIC_PGPROT_HUGEPAGE=y

had a throughput of 128315.19 SPECjbb2005 bops.

numa/core at ec05a2311c35 ("Merge branch 'sched/urgent' into sched/core") 
had an average throughput of 136918.34 SPECjbb2005 bops, which is a 6.3% 
regression.
