Measured in-kernel on a 64-core machine: lock-free data structures vs. the locks operating systems have used since the 1960s.
An operating system with no locks in the way
22o rebuilds the parts of the kernel that make your computer wait. The kernel boots, the benchmarks are real, and the first alpha is opening to a small group. Get in line.

The 13× is a kernel-primitive benchmark under heavy multi-core contention — the exact case where locks fall apart. With no contention, the difference is small. No hype: real numbers, honest limits, full logs published with the alpha.
