i haven't done any benchmarks concerning my fifo implementation ... 
however it would probably make sense to write a blocking equivalent (the 
two-lock concurrent queue described in the same paper of michael and 
scott) with both spin locks and traditional mutexes ... 
both average-case and worst-case execution times should be benchmarked, 
though ...

cheers, tim
