[ itch... ] I can't help thinking there's something wrong with this;
the wait-time measurements seem sane, but why is there essentially no
change in the TPS result?
The above numbers are only for the lock-partition LWLocks, right?
What are the totals --- that is, how much time is spent blocked
vs. processing overall?
