HP-UX has some ways/tools to track mutex contention.  Some extensions to 
give names to mutexes and then get stats on how often one went to grab 
them and it was held etc etc.  Been ages since I used them - I'd hope 
there was something similar for Linux but I've not played with threads 
in a very long time.

happy benchmarking,
