Blocked thread itself spends no cpu time.
Running thread may spend some more cpu time though, for lock checks.
Real issue is flushing pipeline to ensure cache coherency among all cpu 
cores.
So, more 'synchronized' statements your single running thread 
encounters, more cpu stalls. It's not really 'taking' cpu time, it's 
wasting it.
I have to admit, intel pipeline is complete mistery to me:)
But that's why have atomics and other non-blocking thread-safe magic.
