We really need to finish up the work to move Ion out of staging before
looking at performance improvements so please help with that discussion.
Once that is finished up, we can look at performance improvements again.
That said, this is removing the lock from the free path. Is the
contention happening on the free path? Is the system heap deferring
frees? Does this have a notable affect on anything besides the count
of contention? None of this is necessarily a deal breaker but I'd
like a few more details.
Thanks,
