SPINCNT Configuration Parameter
The number of times that a user process spins and tests is specified by the
configuration parameter SPINCNT. The default value is 300. If you increase
the value of SPINCNT, you increase the period that the user process remains
in the CPU. If you decrease the value, you reduce the period.
You cannot directly affect the amount of time that the process spins between
tries.
