The machine I did this on is currently offline, but I'm pretty sure your 
patch is exactly the same as mine was.  I remember not being impressed 
with the performance change, but I don't remember it being negative (on 
both an Ultra 5 and a dual CPU E250).  When I'm near the box again I'll 
compare and benchmark the patch with yours.
