Not unless pgbench on HEAD does that by default.  Here are the
relevant statements:
 
$prefix/bin/pgbench -i -s 150
$prefix/bin/pgbench -T $time -c $clients -j $clients >>$resultfile
 
Perhaps the Intel cores implement the relevant primitives better? 
Maybe I didn't run the profile or reports the right way?

I'll plan on doing that this weekend.

[quick runs a couple tests that way]
 
Single run with -M simple:
 
tps = 23018.314292 (including connections establishing)
 
Single run with -M prepared:
 
tps = 27910.621044 (including connections establishing)
 
So, the patch appears to hinder performance in this environment,
although certainty is quite low with so few samples.  I'll schedule
a spectrum of runs before I leave this evening (very soon).
