+ /// If multiple threads are actively using a synchronization primitive,
+ /// whether indirectly via a higher-level concurrent data structure or
+ /// directly, where the synchronization primitive has an operation which
+ /// waits and another operation which wakes the waiter, it is common for

+ /// we lose big 50% of the time if the wait blocks immediately.
+ ///
+ /// We can improve our chances of being waked immediately, before blocking,
+ /// by spinning for a short duration, although we have to balance this
+ /// against the extra cpu utilization, latency reduction, power consumption,
+ /// and priority inversion effect if we end up blocking anyway.
+ ///
+ /// We use a default maximum of 2 usec of spinning. As partial consolation,
+ /// since spinning as implemented in folly uses the pause instruction where
+ /// available, we give a small speed boost to the colocated hyperthread.
+ ///
+ /// On circa-2013 devbox hardware, it costs about 7 usec to FUTEX_WAIT and
+ /// then be awoken. Spins on this hw take about 7 nsec, where all but 0.5
+ /// nsec is the pause instruction.
