Success rates are still worse on second iteration compared to first, but much better overal.
Let's repeat compaction stats before patch 5, for easier comparison:
Compaction stalls 2661 1953 2062
Compaction success 1005 738 832
Compaction failures 1656 1215 1229
Page migrate success 2137343 1941288 1984697
Page migrate failure 9345 5923 7109
Compaction pages isolated 4630988 4169422 4271015
Compaction migrate scanned 42109445 35090957 37926766
Compaction free scanned 150533970 131933800 126682354
Compaction cost 2601 2339 2406
Again, migrate scanned went actually down after patch 5, the rest went up as
compaction was more successful and less deferred.
