Fixing one of big lock contentions is not enough, you have to fix them all, it is easy to see that a second contention becomes a top one. :-)


So I guess the real question is: do we want to merge the UNIX domain socket locking work? The MySQL gains sound good, the performance drop under very high load seems problematic, and there are more general questions about performance with other workloads.

Maintaining this patch for a month or so is no problem, but as the tree changes it will get harder.

The only thing I'm afraid of is that it'll get pushed onto the back-burner once it's in CVS, and we'll have a mad scramble to fix
it when it's time for 7.0. That's not a show-stopper for it going
in, as there are also numerous benefits. It's just something that
needs to be tracked and worked on.
