Yup, that's the one. I think you tested it. In fact, I'm sure you did,
because I remember seeing performance numbers from you ;)

So yes, I'd expect my patch on its own to quite possibly regress on
NUMA systems (although I wonder how much), but I consider PeterZ's
patch the fix to that, so I wouldn't worry about it.
