Build times for autoconf (a fork test), kernel, and perl.
autoconf kernel perl
2.5.65 3845 1641 1348 seconds
2.5.65-mm1 3898 1646 1326
2.5.65-mm2 3895 1582 1312
2.5.65-mm2-anobjrmap 3824 1614 1284
autoconf and perl builds were faster with anon obj rmap.
kernel build was not. kernel build uses pipe more than
autoconf/perl build. Could be the fact there was only
one sample too.
Lmbench pipe latency and bandwidth don't provide an obvious
explanation why kernel build was slower with anobjrmap.
*Local* Communication latencies in microseconds - smaller is better
kernel Pipe
2.5.65 15.36 ms
2.5.65-mm1 15.80
2.5.65-mm2 15.21
2.5.65-mm2-anobjrmap 14.11
*Local* Communication bandwidths in MB/s - bigger is better
kernel Pipe
2.5.65 64.5 MB/second
2.5.65-mm1 63.3
2.5.65-mm2 65.9
2.5.65-mm2-anobjrmap 65.1
I'm running 2.5.65-mm3 now and will watch how kernel build
goes there.
AIM7 workloads were generally a hair faster with anobjrmap.

Irman process load starvation still appears in 2.5.65 and
2.5.65-mm[12].
