High std/avg ~15% matches my measurements (mine were even higher ~20%)
and that would suggest that 3% average difference is still somehing
within a "noise".

Anyway, I do not really need to take the lock unless the task is the
oom victim. Could you try whether those numbers improve if the lock is
conditional?

Thanks!
