Well, locking the whole thread function you actually prevent the
threads from running in parallel. You could just lock the shared
resource, copy it (if it's inexpensive), and release:
lock_guard<mutex> locker(mutex);
// copy id objects here to some local array
locker.unlock();
// proceed.

You should lock the above as well, because when you're moving a thread
object to threadarray, the thread function is already being runnning.
