    I think we do have an issue with the remaining (after removal of netfilter 
    hooks) 1-2% hit on Webstone, but we really don't know how much of this is 
    caused by the rest of the network hooks.  When LSM is split up into 
    separate patches, it may be useful to re-run these benchmarks without any 
    network hooks at all to see what happens to these figures.
    
    Btw, are we able to release the raw benchmark data & configuration at 
    this stage?.
