My guess is that your code is making system calls to do synchronization (maybe EnterCriticalSection, OpenMutex, and so on) instead of using a spin lock. However, guessing is a sure fire way to waste a lot of time. Profile your code. It will tell you exactly where your program is spending its time and which system calls (if any) are being called. Then you will know, and we won't have to guess :)
