I haven't found any evidence. When I rebuilt the kernels from scratch (exporting them into an empty directory using cg-export), I got reliable data and bisected down to a patch that probably was a problem.

I will redo those tests but rebuilding in place after each bisection (with -f added to all the git checkout uses in git-bisect-script) and see whether I get the same results. If I don't, it could be due to git or git-bisect (but not so likely with the -f switch) or to the build system. Will keep you and Junio posted.
