    Baseline:
    75.18%         init  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_safe_halt
    23.32%      swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_safe_halt

    Gang V2:
    73.21%         init  [kernel.kallsyms]       [k] native_safe_halt
    25.74%      swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]       [k] native_safe_halt

That does not give much clue :(
Comments?

    Baseline:
    57.75%         init  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_safe_halt
    40.88%      swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_safe_halt

    Gang V2:
    56.25%         init  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_safe_halt
    42.84%      swapper  [kernel.kallsyms]  [k] native_safe_halt

Similar comparison here.
