+------
+====== AIX Topics ======
+==== AIX Kernel Lock Table - Front-Loading Overhead ====
+If fcntl is used to aquire locks on files without utilization of the range/region parameters, file locks are aquired without an offset, which has the side-effect of the lock entry being inserted at the beginning of the kernel's lock table.
+Interestingly, if an application relies on intensive utilization of such file locking, the overhead of unconditional traversal of the potentially over-sized set of lock entries crowded into the front of the lock table can be quite impactful.
+In one particular application, file locks acquired via fcntl was used for IPC-oriented synchronization in addition to actual concurrent file access, which introduced the overhead from kernel lock table front-loading to the application's multi-threaded processing concurrency - and the problem was also aggrevated by the addition IPC-oriented lock volume, as well.
+One mitigation technique would be to utilize the region/range parameters for fcntl, locking a region at an arbitrarily-high position, which has the side-effect of the lock entry being located away from the front of the lock table.
