However, I'm still not entirely sure that this will be fast enough to be worth it. There will still be a lot of locking operations,
Most apps are single-threaded, so mutex ops will be no-ops effectively, but for those apps where multi-threading is important, the gain could overweight the loss, I guess.
Really, mutex op is quite fast (I guess max 3 instructions on most CPUs), so - is it really _so_ bad?
