Formally, this is a bottleneck problem, caused
by the slow parts of the system not being up to
the standards of the rest.
Depending on hat worn, you can make it a compliment
(most of the system is fast) or and insult (part
of the system is slow). I'll leave that to the
interested paries
As an engineer, I'd prefer it not happen at all if
I can't fix it, and for it to be a Sun bug if I can.
My initial thought is it's partially die to a locking
bottleneck and partly due to the algorithm using
the lock being unbounded-time.
