I've not tested that I think. I had a hard time showing that cmpxchg
loops were slower, but once I did, I simply replaced all cmpxchg loops
with unconditional ops where possible.

The machine that was big enough to show it lived in a lab half way
around the world and using it was a right pain in the ass, so I didn't
use it more than I absolutely had to.
