David, in general any serially reused resource should, given a design choice,
use object locks that threads can block on for serialization of modifications
rather than critical sections.  Critical sections can have very bizzare
effects on performance.  Usually when porting code, one is left with little
choice but critical sections because locks must be a careful part of a design
whereas it is pretty easy to just say "leave me alone" instead. (ask tnt)
