After some testing if you use the current head code for s_lock.c which
has some mods in it to alleviate this situation, and change
SPINS_PER_DELAY to 10 you can drastically reduce the cs with tom's test.
I am seeing a slight degradation in throughput using pgbench -c 10 -t
1000 but it might be liveable, considering the alternative is unbearable
in some situations.
Can anyone else replicate my results?
