I have a small piece of code (yeah really small: less than 100 clock cycles)
that will be run only a few times per hour (say 10 or 20). This code accessed
a shared segment that must be locked.

Due to the fast execution time of the critical section is it a bad behavior
to use DosEnterCritSec() & DosExitCritSec() instead of locking the shared
memory (I'm afraid locking will take much more time that the treatement
itself).

Any suggestions welcome.
