Wait Rate

Metric Description

Average Wait time (in milliseconds) per synchronization context switch. Low metric value may signal an increased contention between threads and inefficient use of system API.

Possible Issues

The average Wait time is too low. This could be caused by small timeouts, high contention between threads, or excessive calls to system synchronization functions. Explore the call stack, the timeline, and the source code to identify what is causing low wait time per synchronization context switch.
