One more set of test results, this time including schedbench. Previous
runs did not have the cputimes_stat patch, so the schedbench numbers
were not particularly useful.

Kernbench:
Elapsed User System CPU
oldsched54 29.75s 287.02s 82.876s 1242.8%
sched54 29.112s 283.888s 82.84s 1259.4%

Row names are the same as before (see below). Numbers seem to be
fairly consistent.

It is fine with me to wait for 2.5.55 to rediff. I'm getting patch
errors now with the cputime_stat patch, so a rediff of that with
2.5.55 would be handy (although I suppose I should quit being lazy
and just do that myself).
