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. In 2019 myself and others tested kvm-clock and found it was only about 20% slower than tsc. What on Earth is Ubuntu doing that results in 30% higher CPU time!?

The evaluation section has lots of good information on experiences running Delos in production, as well as some synthetic benchmarks. The in-production switch from a ZK Loglet to NativeLoglet was done for the first time on April 2nd 2019, and gave a 10x improvement at p99 for gets, and a 5x improvement for writes.
