RR with SA persistence issue

hi, have configured round robin with source address based persistance. load is getting distributed un evenly. i believe cmp should be enabled by default, what is the cause for this issue.

    "A persistence profile allows a returning client to connect directly to the server to which it last connected. In some cases, assigning a persistence profile to a virtual server can create the appearance that the BIG-IP system is incorrectly distributing more requests to a particular server. However, when you enable a persistence profile for a virtual server, a returning client is allowed to bypass the load balancing method and connect directly to the pool member. As a result, the traffic load across pool members may be uneven"
