[Gluster-users] Gluter 3.12.12: performance during heal and in general

Even the brick which doesn't have high CPU seems to have same number of
lookups, so that's not it.
Is there any difference at all between the machines which have high CPU vs
low CPU?
I think the only other thing I would do is to install perf tools and try to
figure out the call-graph which is leading to so much CPU

This affects performance of the brick I think, so you may have to do it
quickly and for less time.

perf record --call-graph=dwarf -p   <brick-pid> -o </path/to/output>
then
perf report -i </path/to/output/given/in/the/previous/command>
