Here is mine on -STABLE.  It is amusing how much faster the raw CPU
really is when you take these benchmark numbers into account.  If I
remember correctly from trying to find where QEMU was slow, kqemu user +
kernel actually has significantly more context switches than just kqemu
user.

kqemu user
==========
Ubench CPU:    74871
Ubench MEM:     8873
--------------------
Ubench AVG:    41872


kqemu user + kernel
===================
Ubench CPU:    67768
Ubench MEM:     6520
--------------------
Ubench AVG:    37144


Raw

Ubench CPU:    44162
Ubench MEM:    42655
--------------------
Ubench AVG:    43408
