I loop on a shared memory variable (that sticks in cache for the most part) which means that "thread" can run all the time. Doing nothing. That's not so good and it needs to have a "pause" stuck in the loop to let the other thread run when a thread is in that spin loop (not a spinlock loop). I'm fixing to buy a dual xeon box and will get to play with this and tune it a bit...
