I don't have logs anymore as I have since rebuilt my environment, but I can
confirm seeing improvements on a maas server running with high IO (note it
was a single region/rack).

see inlien:

Comment #93 shows there are /some/ improvements when comparing those two
samples only, but as I have already said, we need data over time to in both
scenarios to properly compare and determine whether the changes do make any
material performance improvements with the current conditions of the
samples (both samples are with a fixed io starvation on the environment).

To be fair, your logs do not provide anything concrete to determine what's
the culprit of the issue on the MAAS side. It provides a lot of clues, and
we have since then determine that those issues were a result of IO
starvation (from the VM's writing to disk). As such, the only way we can
*really* see if the patch brings any significant performance improvements
is to run tests in the environment were you were seeing the issues in the
first place.

As such, if you are willing to test if these make any material difference,
I would unfix your environment and do two runs (one without the fix, and
one with the fix). That's the only way we can really compare and be certain
in *your* environment.
