This follow-up post revisits the question for SQL Server 2019, using a larger number of rows. I will be using the 50GB Stack Overflow 2013 database , but any large table with a low number of distinct values would do. The Stack Overflow 2013 database comes without nonclustered indexes to minimize download time. Test Environment.

A Cassandra database cluster had switched to Ubuntu and noticed write latency increased by over 30%. top(1) showed that only the Cassandra database was consuming CPU. As a Xen guest, this profile was gathered using perf(1) and the kernel's software cpu-clock soft interrupts, not the hardware NMI. But I'm not completely sure.
