FW: what does lngspins mean?

Longspins are spin locks that virtual processors have spun more than 10,000 times in order to acquire. To reduce longspins, reduce the number of virtual processors, reduce the load on the computer, or, on some platforms, use the no-age or processor affinity features.

Or use onstat -g spi to try to determine what resource is the point of contention, and hope you can tune it... Sometimes the resource which is the point of contention is not tuneable. At this point I generally shrug my shoulders and live with it...
