Looks like we get a good performance boost and only tmpwatch and mutt with mbox seems to be affected. A simple patch to tmpwatch has been posted on the same thread.
Thoughts on disabling it?

I have often thought an entire release (or every ~3-4) should consist of nothing but bug fixes and code optimization. Even at Ingo's 2.3% it is worth a healthy discussion, which has already happened! If much faster machines could see 5-10% that would be a major improvement IMO.
I say lets try it! How hard would it be to test? ext3 is the biggest issue, but there is a work-a-round?
