It's a good solution when you have lots of tasks and need high concurrency, and proven in a lot of literature. You might notice more overhead if you only have a small number of tasks (e.g. 2-3) but it definitely scales better than just holding onto one lock or a small number of locks. -- -- Howard Chu Chief Architect, Symas Corp. http://www.symas.com Director, Highland Sun http://highlandsun.com/hyc OpenLDAP Core Team http://www.openldap.org/project/ ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] only message in thread
