Numbers with 4.13 vanilla kernel: Amean 1 40.92 ( 0.00%) 40.26 ( 1.61%) 43.51 ( -6.34%) 44.32 ( -8.32%) 43.99 ( -7.52%) Amean 2 45.70 ( 0.00%) 45.43 ( 0.60%) 44.86 ( 1.85%) 44.96 ( 1.63%) 44.70 ( 2.19%) Amean 4 34.34 ( 0.00%) 35.75 ( -4.10%) 35.40 ( -3.09%) 34.83 ( -1.42%) 34.37 ( -0.08%) Stddev 1 2.93 ( 0.00%) 2.80 ( 4.38%) 5.02 ( -71.29%) 4.96 ( -69.56%) 5.11 ( -74.60%) Stddev 2 3.68 ( 0.00%) 4.26 ( -15.58%) 4.83 ( -31.30%) 4.84 ( -31.59%) 5.33 ( -44.69%) Stddev 4 5.30 ( 0.00%) 5.71 ( -7.89%) 5.89 ( -11.26%) 5.42 ( -2.37%) 5.32 ( -0.53%) So numbers are much worse that with Leap 15.0 and not as stable (but still more stable than with 4.20). Not much surprised - likely cpufreq fixes we have in Leap 15 are missing. Will poke around a some more.
