I profiled that again, but numbers were still.. not so lovely.

Point of this post is the sleeper/hog split business anyway.  I've been
running your patches on my desktop box and cute as button little rpi4b
since they appeared, and poking at them looking for any desktop deltas
and have noticed jack diddly spit.

A lot of benchmarks will notice both distribution and ctx deltas, but
humans.. the numbers I've seen so far say that's highly unlikely.

A couple perf sched lat summaries below for insomniacs.

Load is chrome playing BigBuckBunny (for the zillionth time), which on
this box as I set resolution/size wants ~35% of the box vs 8ms run 1ms
sleep massive_intr, 1 thread per CPU (profiles at ~91%), as a hog-ish
but not absurdly so competitor.
