I went through the wiki, certainly it was interesting. I believe the implementation is at fastlock.cpp [0], I will go through it. You said earlier:

> If we spin too long the thread will sleep although we wait much longer than any other lock you’ll find.

Did you do any tweaks to mitigate this?

> Generally speaking you don't want to be dealing with this stuff unless you really have to.

Ofcourse. I am just way too curious and excited to learn about these!
