Oh, I was thinking about Windows/x64, but I guess I can consider Windows/ARM64 
too. I had a look at Linux/ARM64 actually, and it seems like it doesn't 
actually properly support SpinPause? It seems like it uses the overhead of a 
method call to "implement" SpinPause. I had a look at some example assembly 
that could potentially be used to implement it for Windows/ARM64, but I don't 
know if it's correct. If you want, we could continue this discussion elsewhere
