VMS Help V73 Features, System Management Features, Dedicated CPU Lock Manager (Alpha)  *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX)

    The Dedicated CPU Lock Manager is a new feature that improves
    performance on large SMP systems that have heavy lock manager
    activity. The feature dedicates a CPU to performing lock manager
    operations.

    A dedicated CPU has the following advantages for overall system
    performance as follows:

    o  Reduces the amount of MP_SYNCH time

    o  Provides good CPU cache utilization
