> What are the two functions you're comparing

Go ask this comment, because I'm continuing their comparison: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48125795

The whole point of the complaint was wtallis claiming the inter-process-capable lock was being used for locks that don't need it! That's the foundation of this conversation!

> What are you basing this on?

Basic coding knowledge and an assumption of competency. There's no good reason for it to slow down more than that when it's used the same way. If you have a reason go ahead and tell me.

> Again, latency isn't about how many times something is called per second. That would matter for throughput.

I addressed both.

The extra latency for using an overly capable lock should be negligible. That's not the problem anyone is worried about.
