Huh? We're only doing this strict locking approach because you insisted
that the looser approach was not acceptable. Have you forgotten that
discussion so completely that you can't even remember the existence of
other options? 

It amazes me that you should then use locking overhead as the reason to
not pursue the current approach further, which was exactly my argument
for not pursuing it in the first place.

You're leading me a merry dance.
