Yes, granted, but we don't have any evidence the OP is doing any 
concurrency.  Jan (the OP) has put the cart before the horse, so to 
speak.  He's asking for programming solutions, when the problem domain 
isn't clear.

All we have is some vague assertion that his friend has used an 
immutable something or other (stack? queue? Jan seems unclear on it) and 
that it's "faster."  Why is it faster?  Who's measuring?  How?  Jan 
admits he hasn't seen the code.  I'd bet money his friend's algorithm is 
in fact doing nothing like what Jan supposes.

Jan seems educated, and often poses interesting problems, but at the 
same time he also seem blithering, and frequently confuses concepts that 
have nothing to do with each other, or leaps to irrelevant conclusions.

It's all a load of old pisswiffle if you ask me.
