We have "instructed" a customer to test it (running freebsd) and he'll
benchmark it, and also watch diskio and sustem load. When they report
back I'll share it of course.

But for those people this patch isn't interesting anyway. It's only
interesting if you have a dedicated server running. People can easily
test their applications for this too.

Patches are still a hassle to maintain, especially if you're mixing two
of them running it on the same code. THey also need updating often due
to changes in the distribution. Thinks like that are annoying, although
I don't see a better solution for this now (except by doing it the
kernel way and use --enable-expirental-foo for example).
