I went through the wiki, certainly it was interesting. I believe the implementation is at fastlock.cpp [0], I will go through it. You said earlier:
> If we spin too long the thread will sleep although we wait much longer than any other lock you’ll find.
Did you do any tweaks to mitigate this?

Ofcourse. I am just way too curious and excited to learn about these!

Generally speaking you don't want to be dealing with this stuff unless you really have to. For 99.999% of people the locking primitives that come with your programming language are good enough.
