Right, because on POWER we can see big contention on ClogControlLock
with 300 scale factor, even at 96 client count, but on X86 with 300
scan factor there is almost no contention on ClogControlLock.
However at 1000 scale factor we can see significant contention on
ClogControlLock on X86 machine.
I want to test on POWER with 1000 scale factor to see whether
contention on ClogControlLock become much worse ?
I will run this test and post the results.
