One update taking much longer than the other, isn't optimal for either atoms or refs. In atoms, the faster update wins, which could randomly lead to a stream of faster updates starving few slow updates.
I believe refs behave similarly, though if you can make your updates commutative, you can take advantage of commute to eliminate contention for the ref. I think in the general case, agents provide the best fit, if you have to mix fast and slow updates, that have to be run in-order. kind regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
