Debian is backporting those fixes to their distro kernel, there is no need for you to upgrade to a kernel.org kernel - in fact this is a pretty major step. Doesn't the latest debian kernel update [1] contain the fix? Did the load increase in kernel or user space? Regards, Lukas [1] http://lists.debian.org/debian-security-announce/2013/msg00077.html
