I observe a 15% improvement on hl2 lost coast when configured to be cpu 
bound.

Other games benefit with various percentages (see for example 
http://www.gearsongallium.com/?p=3522 with an older patchset), but it 
seems to be around 10-20% for cpu limited scenarios.


If the game is not cpu limited, but gpu limited, there is no gain (as 
expected).
