Is it really pam, or pam II or flexscale cache?
What are the options flexscale currently set to?

I have an HA pair, both with pam.
One does NOT have PAM enabled.
We have some uniquely bursty workloads at the top of every hour, and they are unusually high peaks 3 or 4 hours every day in the AM.
The PAM enabled system suffers VERY High concurrency & latency on these few peaks, but the non PAM system does not.
PAM hit rate is about 60%.
I'm wondering if this is because these sudden user-based spike workloads are almost 0% cachable, that Kahuna takes a hit evicting an unusually high amount of blocks from PAM..and updating the in-ram hash of what's actually in PAM.
When I enable PAM on controller 2, this odd concurrency/latency spike then also shows up on that head too.
Thoughts?
