Two high frequency idle enter/exit suckage spots:
1) nohz (tick) - it's expensive to start/stop tick on every micro-idle, throttle it or something.
2) ondemand governor - tweak silly default settings to reflect the reality that we routinely schedule communicating threads cross core.
(3. seek/destroy fastpath cycles, damn things multiply over time)
