Pure question: how much this patch would help? Basically if you are
running compression tests then I think it means you are with precopy
(since postcopy cannot work with compression yet), then here the lock
has no contention at all.
Yes, you are right, however we can observe it is in the top functions
(after revert this patch):
Can you show the matching trace with the patch in?
