Is this with collecting the histogram information about spinlocks? We found
that if you enable that for production runs it makes them quite slower.


Ok. Are you referring to CONFIG_KVM_DEBUG_FS/CONFIG_XEN_DEBUG_FS?. Not
it was not enabled. But then may be I was not precise. This test was only on native. So it should have not affected IMO.

It is nice to know that histogram affects, since I was always under the
impression that it does not affect much on guest too. My experiments
had almost always enabled that.

Let me know if you referred to something else..
