BTW, is your cpu governor kicking into high gear?  That unpatched number
looks like a throttled down cpu to me.  I know on my box, when there are
micro idles, sometimes cores do not throttle up, making for some fairly
crappy numbers.  Q6600 doesn't throttle down far enough to make such a
_huge_ difference though.
