Hi, Sorry I have not followed this thread thoroughly, but you might want to experiment manually and set _inst_locking_period and _last_allocation_period to larger values, if the problem comes from instances stealing other instances L1 BMBs too often (these parameters should control the time in seconds after an instance can steal a L1 bitmap block from other instance). If this is not relevant, please ignore..
