Hm, for the details we might ask Nathan.

I applied all three mentioned patches, the base patch and the two 
powerpc patches.

Below the vmstat -i 1 output. The system is up for 5' now. No activity, 
only a few times the below command. The values of the decrementer 
increases continously. About ten within 2''. (early morning observing)

I'll be back in the evening for further tests.
