that Kbuild result looks suspicious. A kbuild only uses 25% of system 
time, so an 5.5% improvement means that system utilization dropped from 
25% to 19.5%, a 28% improvement in the kernel! That looks rather 
unlikely.

Could you please post before/after 'perf stat --repeat 3' results so 
that we can see the noise level?

Thanks,
