scheduling off the waiting list

My understanding is that the waiting sessions are re-scheduled on threads, right?

I am seeing hsh_rush getting called much more often than I thought it should be 
and I don't yet understand why.

What I would really like to see is that the waitinglist gets rescheduled when 
the busy object is actually becomes in the cache. I am suspecting this has to do 
with calling HSH_Deref(&Parent) in HSH_Unbusy and/or the fact that HSH_Drop 
calls both Unbusy and Deref, but I don't understand this yet.
