Changing the #if 0 to #if 1 appears to affect AIM7 fserver the most.
Patch tested is very similar to:
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=106729967301172&w=2
2.6.0-test9-as as-fix patch
2.6.0-test9-as1 as-fix patch with #if 1
Either way, that version of as-fix patch looks good for both
AIM7 and tiobench.

At low number of tasks, #if 0 does more work. As the
number of tasks goes up, having #if 1 does more work.

Tiobench below is not too exciting. The main thing is the regression
seen in test[678] is gone.
