What a silly move of upstream. The very same guy has reviewed my locking patch,
so he should be at least remotely aware that being "CPU-hungry" is not the
issue.
But well, he's looking at what's happening on his laptop. This is how upstream
works, right? "It's fine on my laptop, so what are those 32TB-RAM people
lamenting about?"

You'll not be surprised to hear that I disagree. But as upstream is now moving
in the very direction I'd like to steer away from, I guess it's an even tougher
sell than it used to be.
