I think it should be done, performance is a lot better than the old 6.x 
version and it also adds another very useful performance metric (time 
spent waiting for the lock).  The only concern is that it doesn't break 
ABI support when not compiled in, but I'm pretty sure you've already 
told me this is OK.

Thanks for looking at this.
