I was concerned with thread_specific_ptr performance, too. Although this 
was in pre-1.41 times, I still think there's room for improvement.

I crafted a patch for 1.40 that provided constant-time complexity of 
reading/writing to TLS instead of logarithmic that is present now in 
1.41. It has its downsides but if anyone finds it interesting, it's 
attached to this ticket:
