Could be a number of things.

Since the kernel that was shipped with Severn (let alone Shrike),
this update has been the first, which means that mainline moved quite
a bit, so you could be seeing subtle VM/block layer improvements, but
as well as baseline updates, pretty much all the other 'major' patches,
ntpl, exec-sheild etc also got significant updates, so it could be
attributed to quite a few things, or a sum of the whole.
