its much faster and well scaling on multicore.
Note that it won't work as is on non-x86 machines, because it's
missing memory barriers (and I think that you may actually need memory
barriers on x86 too). Atomic operations are not memory barriers by
themselves, and the fact that you perform an atomic operation does not
mean that afterwards all cpu's will immediately see this new value.
