I'll give this patch a run through my slamd testing systems on linux and 
solaris (I assume this is ITS#3975).  The previous implementations 
(ITS#3835) had a 5% performance decrease on systems that were purely busy. 
I won't be able to get to that until after 10/17 however, as I'm in the 
process of moving.
