[Speed] Impact of Meltdown/Spectre OS patches on benchmark results?

Hi folks,

Reading https://medium.com/implodinggradients/meltdown-c24a9d5e254e prompts me to ask: are speed.python.org benchmark results produced now actually going to be comparable with those executed last year?

Or will the old results need to be backfilled again with the new baseline OS performance?

Cheers, Nick.
