Adam Lally commented on UIMA-1129:
----------------------------------

> -1. We can't have arbitrary clients turn on Delta CAS mode for everybody 
> else. This must be a global setting.

What we want is that when one client turns on delta CAS it does not affect 
others, but I think that means it must NOT be a global setting.  It looks to me 
like reset() is clearing the mark, so in the case where a client uses the mark 
and then releases the CAS back to a pool for other clients to use, other 
clients will not be affected.  So I am not sure I see the problem you are 
objecting to.

My intuition is that these ought to be the same speed - aren't both just 
checking a memory location to see if equals some constant value?  Without some 
proof that a boolean check is faster, I'm inclined to say the current 
implementation is fine.
