This is an interesting/relevant paper review. I'd be curious to know how much OBS performance could be improved by implementing all of the fixes described.

Hm why don't you take the patch for a spin and try it out yourself? :)
I finally took a look at the link. It seems most of the bugs are NUMA related. I don't have any NUMA machines. (Single socket 6-core CPUs are SMP, not NUMA.) Does OBS hardware include systems with more than 1 NUMA node. (lscpu | grep NUMA) I believe in the Intel world at least, all 6 core (12 thread) single socket (CPU) are all SMP, not NUMA. If you have multiple sockets (CPUs) you are definitely into NUMA (per my understanding). I'm not sure when NUMA kicks in for an individual Intel CPUs (socket) (but I know that it does eventually).
