It would be easier to answer if you gave some information on what
performance you are measuring and what the results are?
Also remember there is an overhead incurred for all operations and for
small installations it is a bigger part of the total cost, so you will
not really gain on that.

There were a bunch of different, specific, performance improvements
each with a focused area.  Many of them related to reducing contention
in many-CPU systems.  If your system wasn't having problems in the
specific areas that were improved, you wouldn't see an improvement.
