Did you look at the graph?

I'm not sure why you would expect performance to be identical.  Dave Mills 
and crew went to a lot of effort to get code into various kernels, including 
writing a RFC.  I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a significant improvement.

The question in my mind is have things changed enough since 1994 so that we 
can do as well without that code in the kernel?
