Michael Dürig commented on OAK-1757:
------------------------------------

The actual CPU overhead seems to depend on the environment quite a bit. I've 
seen everything between 4% and 10% and now you report 1%. This is confirmed by 
the fact that I didn't see much of this using a JVM profiler. Only when falling 
back to a system profiler on the JVM itself I started seeing the overhead of 
frequent thread scheduling. 

While I think 1% is certainly acceptable, 10% is IMO not. 

On a more general note the changes from 
http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1575050 are not that 
helpful for gathering correct sessions statistics. The 1ms resolution of the 
timer is too low as many of the operations take sub milliseconds to execute.

> An idle Oak eats roughly 5% of my CPU cycles. 
> This is caused by the {{Clock}} implementations introduced at 
> http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?view=revision&revision=1575050. Scheduling the 
> fast clock to update its time every millisecond is quite expensive. 
> Substituting for the simple clock reduces idle CPU usage to below 1%.
