If so, can you check with e.g.
perf record -ags -e LLC-load-misses sleep 10 && perf report whether this
workload triggers perhaps lock contention ? What you need to look for in
the perf output is whether any functions occupy more than 10% CPU time.

I will, thanks for the tip!

The perf report is very similar to the one that started this effort..

I'm afraid we'll need to resolve the per-target m->lock in order
to scale with NUMA...
