An Early Performance Regression Hitting Highly Threaded Workloads On Linux 6.14-rc1

This AMD EPYC Zen 5 server made for speedy work beginning to test out the new Linux kernel. Such as with the Liquid-DSP digital signal processing software at high core/thread counts, there were big regressions over Linux 6.13 and 6.12.... When running with "only" 32~64 threads on this 256-core / 512-thread server, the Linux 6.14 kernel was showing a nice performance improvement.
