Comment (by pastly):

 I rebased kist onto master recently. This new kist is what dgoutlet is
 reviewing and will be merged soon.

 We wondered if the issue reproducing our results had to do with the
 extra_space addition in the kist per-socket limit we made. So for 24 hours
 each, we ran amap, kist-with (the change), and finally kist-without (the
 change).

 As you can see in the graphs I'll attach momentarily, kist was better than
 amap with and without the change. So we recommend leaving it in the code.

 I've just started a 2 week test (1 week amap, 1 week kist-with) that will
 hopefully return the same results.
