Thanks for doing detailed tests.

Hmm, I don't see 5% regression, rather it is a performance gain of ~5%
with the patch?  When we use regression, that indicates with the patch
performance (TPS) is reduced, but I don't see that in the above
numbers.  Kindly clarify.

Again, I am not sure if you see performance dip here.  I think your
usage of the word 'regression' is not correct or at least confusing.

Okay.  Is it possible to share these numbers and scripts?

Thanks for doing the detailed tests for this patch.
