I suspect we would need to know the entire intended design here in order to
start
a discussion. What operations are doing list traversals ? What operations are
doing
updates ? How frequently are each respective operation done ? Do you intend to
keep your spin lock to protect concurrent list updates, and if not how do you
plan on
protecting concurrent updates ?
What are the performance issues you are experiencing exactly ?
Thanks,
Mathieu
