-        // Blocking or yielding incur their own penalties in the form of context switching
-        // and the resultant loss of $ residency.
-        //
-        // Further complicating matters is that yield() does not work as naively expected
-        // on many platforms -- yield() does not guarantee that any other ready threads
-        // will run.   As such we revert to naked_short_sleep() after some number of iterations.

-        // Typical operating systems round a "short" sleep period up to 10 msecs, so sleeping
-        // can actually increase the time it takes the VM thread to detect that a system-wide
-        // stop-the-world safepoint has been reached.  In a pathological scenario such as that
-        // described in CR6415670 the VMthread may sleep just before the mutator(s) become safe.
-        // In that case the mutators will be stalled waiting for the safepoint to complete and the
-        // the VMthread will be sleeping, waiting for the mutators to rendezvous.  The VMthread
-        // will eventually wake up and detect that all mutators are safe, at which point
-        // we'll again make progress.
-        //
-        // Beware too that that the VMThread typically runs at elevated priority.
-        // Its default priority is higher than the default mutator priority.
-        // Obviously, this complicates spinning.
-        //
-        // Note too that on Windows XP SwitchThreadTo() has quite different behavior than Sleep(0).
-        // Sleep(0) will _not yield to lower priority threads, while SwitchThreadTo() will.
-        //
-        // See the comments in synchronizer.cpp for additional remarks on spinning.

-        // In the future we might:
-        // 1. Modify the safepoint scheme to avoid potentially unbounded spinning.
-        //    This is tricky as the path used by a thread exiting the JVM (say on
-        //    on JNI call-out) simply stores into its state field.  The burden
-        //    is placed on the VM thread, which must poll (spin).
-        // 2. Find something useful to do while spinning.  If the safepoint is GC-related
-        //    we might aggressively scan the stacks of threads that are already safe.
-        // 3. Use Solaris schedctl to examine the state of the still-running mutators.
-        //    If all the mutators are ONPROC there's no reason to sleep or yield.
-        // 4. YieldTo() any still-running mutators that are ready but OFFPROC.
-        // 5. Check system saturation.  If the system is not fully saturated then
-        //    simply spin and avoid sleep/yield.
-        // 6. As still-running mutators rendezvous they could unpark the sleeping
-        //    VMthread.  This works well for still-running mutators that become
-        //    safe.  The VMthread must still poll for mutators that call-out.

+          // Typical operating systems round a "short" sleep period up to 10 msecs, so sleeping
+          // can actually increase the time it takes the VM thread to detect that a system-wide
+          // stop-the-world safepoint has been reached.  In a pathological scenario such as that
+          // described in CR6415670 the VMthread may sleep just before the mutator(s) become safe.
+          // In that case the mutators will be stalled waiting for the safepoint to complete and the
+          // the VMthread will be sleeping, waiting for the mutators to rendezvous.  The VMthread
+          // will eventually wake up and detect that all mutators are safe, at which point
+          // we'll again make progress.
+          //
+          // Beware too that that the VMThread typically runs at elevated priority.
+          // Its default priority is higher than the default mutator priority.
+          // Obviously, this complicates spinning.

+          // Note too that on Windows XP SwitchThreadTo() has quite different behavior than Sleep(0).

+          //
+          // See the comments in synchronizer.cpp for additional remarks on spinning.
+          //
+          // In the future we might:
+          // 1. Modify the safepoint scheme to avoid potentially unbounded spinning.
+          //    This is tricky as the path used by a thread exiting the JVM (say on
+          //    on JNI call-out) simply stores into its state field.  The burden
+          //    is placed on the VM thread, which must poll (spin).
+          // 2. Find something useful to do while spinning.  If the safepoint is GC-related
+          //    we might aggressively scan the stacks of threads that are already safe.
+          // 3. Use Solaris schedctl to examine the state of the still-running mutators.
+          //    If all the mutators are ONPROC there's no reason to sleep or yield.
+          // 4. YieldTo() any still-running mutators that are ready but OFFPROC.
+          // 5. Check system saturation.  If the system is not fully saturated then
+          //    simply spin and avoid sleep/yield.
+          // 6. As still-running mutators rendezvous they could unpark the sleeping
+          //    VMthread.  This works well for still-running mutators that become
+          //    safe.  The VMthread must still poll for mutators that call-out.
+          // 7. Drive the policy on time-since-begin instead of iterations.
+          // 8. Consider making the spin duration a function of the # of CPUs:
+          //    Spin = (((ncpus-1) * M) + K) + F(still_running)
+          //    Alternately, instead of counting iterations of the outer loop
+          //    we could count the # of threads visited in the inner loop, above.
