Looks very much like either ULE or PREEMPTION pessimize LT without any 
positive effect on KSE. Neither option should have any effect on user 
time, while user times in your tests compare to user times in mine as 
2:1 for both LT and KSE, while real time for KSE is also 2:1 but real 
time for LT is 3:1. Unfortunately I've tested on production machine, so 
that I can't recompile kernel with ULE & PREEMPTION to verify that.
