Could you also check the performance of only patch#1?
I fear that it might be slower than all 4 together.

With regards to semop-multi:
Is this the tool?

I think the logic is the wrong:
Locking a semaphore is substraction, unlocking adding.
Thus multiple tasks can run in parallel - and the task switch code is 
never triggered.
Could you double check that the number of context switches matches the 
output?

I usually use this tool:
