Strongly disagree...
You can't deny it. Please read some technical docs about the cost of
interlocked operation in multicore systems.
As compare to the cost of other locking methods such as critical sections
that have to be implemented instead if the ARC is missing?
Doing parallel processing without ARC is practically suicidal IMHO.
That might well be, but it does not deny the cost.
There is always cost for parallelization (Actually same when doing it with
humans - I know that as a CEO :-D )
With best regards,
