These two patches really does not affect signing time per say. The
first patch has no affect on signing time if your HSM works correctly,
all it does is to reduce the wait time on a mutex that will be
signaled once there is work to be done. And the second one is a bug
fix to the code executing external commands from the signer, if your
running from SVN trunk this will already be in.

I would do as Matthijs said and run ods-hsmspeed to see how fast your
HSM can go, change conf.xml to the optimal workers and drudgers and
then compare the numbers from ods-hsmspeed with the STATS line from
the Signer.
