Thanks, do you have some numbers ?

Btw I still have my own patches didn't have the time to clean them, will
try next week, last time they gave me ~7% speedup.


I also have a question is someone of you guys planning to submit a talk
to future Linux events about kdbus and sdbus ? I have a presentation not
finished about kdbus, sd-bus coupled with GCC plugins to construct kdbus
sandbox profiles during compilation thanks to sd-bus semantics, but
never had the time to finish it :-D
