One client (default setting).

I checked it with perf record -avg and perf report. 
The following shows top 20 symbols during benchmark including kernel space.
The main difference between master (unpatched) and patched one seems that
patched one consumes cpu catcache-evict-and-refill functions including 
SearchCatCacheMiss(),  CatalogCacheCreateEntry(), CatCacheCleanupOldEntries().
So it seems to me that these functions needs further inspection 
to suppress the performace decline as much as possible
