  Modified files:
sys/kern subr_sleepqueue.c Log:
   - At the top of sleepq_catch_signals() lock the thread and check 
TDF_NEEDSIGCHK
     before doing the very expensive cursig() and related locking.  NEEDSIGCHK
     is updated whenever our signal mask change or when a signal is delivered 
and
     should be sufficient to avoid the more expensive tests.  This eliminates
     another source of PROC_LOCK contention in multithreaded programs.

This may break process suspension, a more completed patch is here: (though it is outdated):

http://people.freebsd.org/~davidxu/patch/PCATCH_optimize.patch

In one word, process suspending may be in progress, and the thread
should check it.

Regards,
David Xu
