Hi Andrei,

I did not run benchmarks on the same machine/kernel, but umcg_swap
between "core" tasks (your use case for gVisor) should be somewhat
faster than futex_swap, as there is no reading from the userspace and
no futex hash lookup/dequeue ops; umcg_swap should be slower than
switchto_switch because umcg_swap does go through ttwu+schedule, which
switchto_switch bypasses.

I expect that if UMCG is merged in a form similar to what I posted, we
will explore how to make UMCG context switches faster in later
patches.

Thanks,
Peter
