I use std::locale goodies as is, so if compiler uses locking then
it would happen.

However, std::locale implementation is very efficient and uses reference
counting and global functions like std::locale::global in any case
should not be used.

I assume that ICU would do much more locking on its own then standard
C++ library.

Yes, it is not my primary consideration.
