Thank you for the testing. I am glad to hear that there is no
performance regression on an TSC-efficient system.

I'm curious if we'd see a more significant difference in non-hardware
virtualized systems (i.e., qemu without kvm). Have you done any testing in
such environments already?

Well, I guess the gain is mostly relevant to how inefficient TSC
is in the system and how much a workload stresses TSC.
