I 'll get hold of a PLE mc and come up with the numbers soon. but I

Deferring preemption (when vcpu is holding lock) may give us better than 1-3%
results on PLE hardware. Something worth trying IMHO.
Is the improvement so low, because PLE is interfering with the patch, or
because PLE already does a good job?
How does PLE help with ticket scheduling on unlock? I thought it would
just help with the actual spin loops.
Hmm. This strikes something to me. I think I should replace while 1 hog
in with some *real job* to measure over-commit case. I hope to see
greater improvements because of fairness and scheduling of the
patch-set.
May be all the way I was measuring something equal to 1x case.
