Well, you're probably right (although I think you completely ignored the
optimizing compiler), but still it would be good to get some numbers to
confirm reality :-)

Just pick your favourite cgroup workload/benchmark and run a pre/post
comparison, possible using perf record.

If all squares up you should see an improvement in your benchmark score
as well as see a reduction in time spend in the function you're
patching.
