I have to confess I cannot make much sense from numbers because they
seem to be too volatile and the main contributor doesn't stand up for
me. Anyway, regressions on microbenchmarks like this are not all that

That being said I would still love to get to bottom of this bug rather
than play with the lock duration by a magic. In other words
