Yes, since readers don't require any locks at all and don't issue any blocking calls of any kind - syscalls, malloc, whatever - they run completely unimpeded. The moment you introduce fine-grained locks of any kind the overall performance (reads and writes) will decrease by at least an order of magnitude because readers will have to deal with lock contention. |
