mutex contention

Mutex contention is still sort of new to me, but it seems that it's a
problem on one of our servers when it's at its busiest which is most of
the time. We have periods in which %sys is higher than %usr and smtx
(mutex stalls) is over 500 per second. So with the problem diagnosed, I
am not sure what are some good ways to resolve it. Does anybody have
any advice or links that could help?

Thanks,
