So I guess it's doing this, uncontended file lock/unlock?:

	https://github.com/antonblanchard/will-it-scale/blob/master/tests/lock1.c

Each thread is repeatedly locking and unlocking a file that is only used
by that thread.

By the way, what's the X-axis on these graphs?  (Or the y-axis, for that
matter?)
