[M3devel] lock performance, random thoughts

[Dragiša Durić]

It's all about synchronization in kernel space, ie part of it when it
comes to kernel space through syscalls.

Context switching is lesser problem as it is what happens a lot less
often than synchronization.

Synchronization problem is with systems which are, unlike Linux, doing
syscalls on every pthread_mutex_lock and friends.

Hybridization of thread system (mixing user and kernel threads) is done
talk and I hope nobody takes such thing seriously anymore.
