[M3devel] lock performance, random thoughts (also current cvsup situation)

[Dragiša Durić]

It's good to read more about subject, which is what I usually do after
some tabula rasa thinking on it :).

It looks like Linux has optimized this for some time now. Bias by way of
very fast operation in uncontended cases. 

What is current m3devel decision on this? And how I (with Linux and only
Linux) can feel this slowdown in cvsup at all? Is it because Elego
rebuild cvsupd and is not using Linux server-side??
