Do you feel that mutex performance could be improved from the current 
2-3 million lock/unlock operations per second on uncontested mutexes on 
~2.4Ghz prescott? Which seems to be about 1000 cycles per lock/unlock.

I have a fairly basic producer/consumer application to optimize and I'm 
trying to decide on the performance-optimal synchronization method.
