Well thats what I get from LPAR...
With CPUs 0-3 disabled things are better, but there is still 10%
difference between group/nogroup.
Will test Vincents v4 soon.
In any case, would a 5 second sequence of /proc/sched_debug for the
good/bad case with all 16 host CPUs (or the reduced 12 cpu set) be useful?
