If we had an oracle, then we would always // spin for short-uncontended, always block for long, and our choice for // short-contended might depend on whether we were trying to optimize // RocksDB throughput or avoid being greedy with system resources. // // Bucketing into short or long is easy by measuring elapsed time. // Differentiating short-uncontended from short-contended is a bit // trickier, but not too bad.
