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. This server is spending about a third of its CPU cycles just checking the time! What on Earth is Ubuntu doing that results in 30% higher CPU time!?
