The mutex is acquired because it is usually needed. You can argue that there are special cases where the mutex is not strictly needed. That point is debatable. But in any case, SQLite does not attempt to implement those special cases. For safety and reliability, SQLite always acquires a mutex when accessing the shared cache. -- D.
