Comment 25 for bug 1626436

Thanks Joseph! I'm seeing the same effect described by Martin. Boot+lightdm+loading Unity 7 is not as fast as it used to be in 16.04.

I need to compare timings (4.8 patched vs 4.8 vs 4.4) tomorrow to make sure, but I also feel like it's a little faster now with the patches applied.

The number of kworker processes after boot has reduced drastically using the patched kernel, it's a sane number now (~30), not 1004 like when using the unpatched 4.8 kernel.
