yes, that would be interesting to see. presumably the example would have to come from Haskell, Clojure, or classically some SQL database? i am under the impression that STM is harder to optimize since generally you don't know what the transactions collided on. whereas with a "hot lock" you can see precisely what code uses that lock and what it locks. _______________________________________________ Caml-list mailing list.
