Should we reduce MUTEX_RETRY_DELAY ?
------------------------------------

                 Key: TS-678
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TS-678
             Project: Traffic Server
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Leif Hedstrom
             Fix For: 2.1.6


We have a define

#define MUTEX_RETRY_DELAY HRTIME_MSECONDS(20)


which might be overly long? A suggestion was to set it to 11ms. bcall reports 
this being an issue with the old code base as well.

Long term (post v3.0) I believe John is considering changing several of these 
locks in cache (and perhaps other areas) to be small critical sections, and 
just plain locks (and not try-locks). So it's probably not wortwhile for v3.0 
to spend significant time on the existing code (hence the quick and dirty 
reduction in the delay).
