By using Jochen's merge command with buffers and the same change file it

I knew about the possibility of buffers but I never tried them because

Benchmarking complex processes like this usually generate results that are very much tied to the configuration you benchmark with. As it says in the conclusion "That is not to say it won't help in different applications or with different setups". It was tested with a very old version of osmosis (0.24 while 0.38 was already out) and maybe you are using a different type or make of processor.

I'm sure adding your observations will be a valuable addition.
