below is the v8 -> v10 delta patch - for all who'd like to review the

Hmm. This does seem to indicate that v10 lost many of the preempt
changes. Probably because Peter went back to v7 to create it.

I also wonder about the timing numbers - the numbers were probably done
with some random version and then not re-done, so the commit message is
not necessarily "sane" in that respect - the timings quoted don't
necessarily match the code committed.

yeah - i didnt take care with v10's commit log because it will be redone
with a structural splitup anyway, instead of the current time based
history.
