As I read the wording that was quoted:

I do not see a comparison of the pause/release group of services to the 
wait/post services.
I do not see a "suggestion". I see a valid example. An "example" is not a 
"suggestion".

It is still thought that, for many cases, pause/release is more efficient 
than wait/post (not just more effective), primarily due to the reduction 
in local lock usage which can be a significant difference-maker in 
application performance. 

I still do not recall seeing an answer to my question of whether the tests 
were for authorized or unauthorized use of post. And it is inconceivable 
to me that use of "CS" would be only 33% faster than use of the service. 
Presumably that means that the CS was done only occasionally. I have 
forgotten by now: was there a detailed description of what the "benchmark" 
was doing?
