How System 11 SQL Server Became Fast

Summary: System 11 SQL Server attains ~10x throughput (1400→14000 tpmC) via multi-buffer caches, a parallel lock manager, and log caches. Reduces contention with cache-line spinlocks, minimizes regions, using a housekeeper thread to smooth I/O and checkpoints. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
