The kernel has been well optimized for most common workloads that 
spinlock contention is usually not a performance bottleneck. There are 
still corner cases where there is heavy spinlock contention.

I used a spinlock loop microbenchmark like what you are doing as well as 
AIM7 for application level testing.
