I just checked your current perf/fixes branch.

It builds on Sparc ;-)

And it behaves better too.  I do get tons of drops and lost events,
but it seems to keep going even during the hardest load.

Eventually I end up with a lot of unresolvable histogram entries,
so that is something to look into.

I looked at your drop logic and it seems perfect, we avoid dropping
all non-SAMPLE events which is what we want.  So that can't be the
cause of the issues I am seeing.
