That's an interesting result. Why, oh why, did I ever implement render variables?
So the conventional thinking on synchronized methods is that they where there is limited contention, and the method is short, synchronized is the best way to go. This method exists, and is synchronized, to avoid creating a PerThreadValue to store the render variable's Map on every component and mixin in the application. That adds up, given that only a tiny percentage of pages or components will ever use a render variable. I'd be willing to replace this code with something that uses an explicit per-instance Lock ... that would likely help with your high contention issues, as after the PerThreadValue is created, and the write lock is released, there would no longer be contention, as all threads could share the read lock. I can put that together shortly and crank out a 5.3.4-rc-1 snapshot, if you can then pick it up and test it.
