New Revision: 282110
URL: https://svnweb.freebsd.org/changeset/base/282110

Log:
  Drop the default for performance_cx_lowest (ie, what to use when AC is 
connected) to ACPI C2.
  
  ACPI C3 ends up doing a lot more work before entering sleep, some of which
  requires grabbing a global ACPI hardware serialising mutex.
  
  Because of this, the more CPU cores you have, the more that lock contends
  under load, reaching close to the #1 lock contention (after VM, which is being
  worked on.)
  
  Tested:
  
  * Sandy bridge Xeon, 2 socket * 8 core
  * Ivy bridge Xeon v2, 2 socket * 8 core
  * Westmere-EX, 4 socket * 10 core
  * Ivybridge desktop
  * Sandybridge mobile
  * Ivybridge mobile
  
  MFC after:    2 weeks
