How do you measure the number of records processed? Is there a specific
version of ebizzy that reports this? I couldn't find a way to get this
information with the ebizzy that's included in ltp.

A trial run showed increased fault handling when SPF is enabled on an
8-core ARM64 system running 4.17-rc3. I am using a port of your x86
patch to enable spf on arm64.
