In addition, could you give some additional details about the number
of CPUs in your system?
And if possible, do you have a way to measure performance besides the
obvious lagging of the system? It would be interesting to know if the
fix in [1] regains performance fully.

One major difference is still that an atomic RMW is in the fast paths.
This could be fixed by reverting
773688a6cb24b0b3c2ba40354d883348a2befa38 on top of everything else,
but we're not sure yet that's necessary because the cost of an atomic
RMW really depends on the system you're working with.
