Kernel performance with profiling

--- Quote Start ---

My doubt was because of the stall parameter, it would make sense that were more high because of the memory contention...

Yes, that is also exactly what I would expect to see here. However, I have seen so many cases where the stall percentage simply does not make sense and hence, eventually stopped relying on the profiler. The only numbers that generally seem to make sense are the reported memory bandwidth and the burst size.
