Someone may worry about any other effects, I will add new kernel option
WM_DISABLE_EVENT_COUNTERS, please use it.
No strong objection from me, but can we enable it by default only on systems with 64-bit atomics?

I see.  Hmm, I will enable WM_EVENT_COUNTERS for amd64 and aarch64
instead of adding WM_DISABLE_EVENT_COUNTERS.  And then, I will also
enable for other 64 bit architectures.

I think you can safely enable it by default for all _LP64.  Are the stats incremented with atomics?

Ah, the stats are just incremented (not atomic ops) because they are
incremented by one CPU or protected by locks.  I will enable it as you
say.


Thanks,
