> This is an update for a performance/scalability enhancement.
> 
> The `JvmtiVTMSTransitionDisabler`sync protocol is on a performance critical path of the virtual threads mount state transitions (VTMS transitions). It has a noticeable performance overhead (about 10%) which contributes to the combined JVMTI performance overhead when Java apps are executed with loaded JVMTI agents.
> 
> Please, also see another/related performance issue which contributes around 70% of total performance overhead:
> [8308614](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8308614): Enabling JVMTI ClassLoad event slows down vthread creation by factor 10
> 
> Testing:
>  - Ran mach5 tiers 1-6 with no regressions noticed.
