hi all,
i'm considering to add lock free queue support to packet forth, just to
follow the hype, and maybe also because i like the concept. but i'm
wondering if it would make much sense to go through all the trouble with
fast mutexes being available in 2.6
in other words, how much better (apart from being more elegant) are lock
free structures wrt a mutex approach where there is a minimal system
penalty? (not many collisions) did anyone look into this? or have i not
been lurking properly? ;)
cheers
tom
