Andreas,

Thank you for taking the time to run it in your computer. I ran LU from
NPB 3.1.1 and got results similar to yours (up to 50% performance loss).
Do you have any idea/guess what might be causing it?

Do you know of any benchmark that improves with the automatic NUMA
balancing? I'd like to see how that goes on my machine.

Thanks,
Martin
