Please read my earlier comment again, if more than one thread is waiting 
for a mutex then kernel
can give the mutex to only one thread other threads will be asked to 
sleep (although for a very small time). It give me the impression that 
mutex should be avoided for data with moderate contention and should be 
used only when contention is really low.
