Interesting. This was significant. The slow start that occurs with noload after
a memory flush seems to have been tamed somewhat.

One pathological run removed from -mm1 and 3 removed from -mm2. Don't know why
it's getting stuck doing process_load now and the other 2.5 kernels only do it
at bigger data sizes for process_load. 2.4 doesnt seem to exhibit this at all.

Removal of per-cpu pages patch does not seem to have been detrimental to contest
benchmarks at least - perhaps this is responsible for the noload being better now?
