This is bug 515051, and looks real.  Commented in the bug.

I asked Honza to backout his patch from mozilla-central, to see if the Tp4 number goes down again.  The graph on 1.9.2 also seems to show a regression, and I'll back it out from 1.9.2 as well in case it really proves to be a regression.

I saw this on the TM tree too, and we don't have the same checkins
going on.

Intereting. See, Honza's patch should NOT have had any Tp effect. I
was a bit surprised that it correlated with one on both m-c and 1.9.2,
but did those just land at the same time?

What were the timeframes for the three regressions (m-c, t-m, 1.9.2)?

That's an empty range.

Looking at the graph, there was a big drop in Tp4 on Linux around Nov 1
and that now it's gone back to the level we had before Nov 1.

I don't see any reports in this newsgroup of the 6% Tp4 drop around Nov 1.

I also don't know why there was a drop, nor the rise now...

So, the backout on trunk didn't cause any improvements.  I inspected the graph server data with Johnathan's help, and the range reported on the list was actually accurate.  I asked Ben to run a few talos runs on the parent changeset of the suspected culprit on both trunk and 1.9.2, and the trunk results are out now, and as Murphy's Law dictates, the numbers were in the same range as the post-regression talos runs.

At this stage, I can only blame an unknown change in the talos run machines, and I guess Honza can re-land his patch on trunk.  Unless others have a better explanation for what's happening here.
