Hi,

As mentioned in my earlier mail i was not able to apply
*pinunpin-cas-5.patch* on commit *6150a1b0, *therefore i thought of
applying it on the
latest commit and i was able to do it successfully. I have now taken the
performance readings at latest commit i.e. *76281aa9* with and without
applying *pinunpin-cas-5.patch* and my observations are as follows,

1. I can still see that the current performance lags by 2-3% from the
expected performance when *pinunpin-cas-5.patch *is applied on the commit

*76281aa9.*
2. When *pinunpin-cas-5.patch *is ignored and performance is measured at
commit *76281aa9 *the overall performance lags by 50-60% from the expected
performance.

*Note:* Here, the expected performance is the performance observed before
commit *6150a1b0 *when* ac1d794 *is reverted.

Please refer to the attached performance report sheet for more insights.

Ashutosh Sharma
