Might be a language barrier on my part, but by your question, it wasn't
apparent (at least not to me) if you're talking the locking granularity
inside the Linux kernel (read: A theoretical question) or application
performance running on Linux.
As you talked about actual hardware (AMD Opteron CPU with 12 cores), I
-assumed- that you were talking about application performance.

-However-, saying "Taking it lightly" doesn't excuse you from "being
excellent to each other" rule. Your answer was rude and uncalled for.
