I page-down-scrolled through the output twice, but cannot find any
multi-second gaps that large; the largest one I can find is where we jump
from '1420550763.815456' to '1420550767.680846' (see attachment). But I
dont think that this is the smoking gun you were hoping for ?

Well you seem to know what youre talking about most of the time so I guess
that, until I finally learn to code for myself, ill take your word for it.
;)
It's just that to the untrained eye, 49265 calls of FUTEX_WAIT_PRIVATE and
73749 calls of FUTEX_WAKE_PRIVATE seem like an awful lot of locking
business. Thanks for taking the time to explain that is expected though.
