Oh sorry I missed the fact that you are running instances in parallel, my bad.

So I ran 36 instances on a machine with 72 cpus. I did this 10 times
and got an average from all instances for all runs to reduce noise:

#!/bin/bash

ITER=10
NR_INSTANCES=36

for i in $(seq $ITER); do
  echo "iteration $i"
  for j in $(seq $NR_INSTANCES); do
    echo "iteration $i" >> "out$j"
    ./netperf -6 -H ::1 -l 60 -t TCP_SENDFILE -- -m 10K >> "out$j" &
  done
  wait
done

cat out* | grep 540000 | awk '{sum += $5} END {print sum/NR}'

Base: 22169 mbps
Patched: 21331.9 mbps

The difference is ~3.7% in my runs. I am not sure what's different.
Perhaps it's the number of runs?
