Here is a patch that will unroll those two sample and let you see which
function is hitting the contention. This has been submitted and
rejected at least once a few years ago. I keep and old copy around
because it is often very handy.
I have not tested it in a couple years (usually working on performance with
a SLES kernel). It applied with a couple minor fixups so I assume it
works. If not, please let me know.
