Sorry for my late reply.

The followings are the results of patched kernel. Unfortunately,
the patch doesn't seem to help my situation.

$ ~/withcap.sh  -C 900 /usr/bin/time make clean
1.61user 0.29system 1:33.94elapsed 2%CPU

$ ~/withcap.sh  -C 100 /usr/bin/time make clean
1.68user 0.27system 3:34.45elapsed 0%CPU

Thanks,
