FWIW, now that I think about this, the regression is roughly in line 
with my findings presented in my recent blog post:

     http://blog.2ndquadrant.com/postgresql-vs-kernel-versions/

Those numbers were collected on a much smaller machine (2/4 cores only), 
which might be why the difference observed on 32-core machine is much 
more significant.
