I guess you didn't understand what "also" mean? The improvement can be measured with both TCP_STREAM and TCP_RR, only the CPU profiling is done with TCP_STREAM. BTW, I just tested an unpatched kernel on a machine with 64 CPU's, turning on/off TLP makes no difference there, so this is likely related to the number of CPU's or hardware configurations. This explains why you can't reproduce it on your side, so far I can only reproduce it on one particular hardware platform too, but it is real. If you need any other information, please let me know. Thanks.
