We spread on FORK/EXEC, and will no longer will pull communicating tasks
back to a shared cache with the new logic preferring to leave wakee
remote, so while no, I haven't tested (will try to find round tuit) it
seems  it _must_ hurt.  Dragging data from one llc to the other on Q6600
hurts a LOT.  Every time a client and server are cross llc, it's a huge
hit.  The previous logic pulled communicating tasks together right when
it matters the most, intermittent load... or interactive use.
