Oh it definitely is expected to be slower, because it does the IPI to
all the cores and actually gets their frequency right.

It was the old one that we had to revert (because it did so
sequentially) that was really bad, and took something like 2+ seconds
on Ingo's 160-core thing, iirc.

It sounds like the current patch is slower, but likely acceptable
considering that you get the right results now ..
