Still, lfence is a lot faster than atomic lock.
I hope it does non-microbenchmarks. IIRC, jhb found that it was
actually slower in some cases. I only did micro-benchmarks on Athlon64.
It depends on hardware, if it is a large machine with lots of cpu,
a small conflict on dual-core machine can become a large conflict
on large machine because it is possible more cpus are now
running same code which becomes a bottleneck. On a large machine
which has 1024 cores, many code need to be redesigned.
