One technique is to batch locks at a coarser granularity. You've explored both ends of the spectrum - 1 lock and N locks. You can also divide the overall vector into any group of refs between 1 and N.
If refs are too heavy, there are several other locking mechanisms on the JVM. You could try Clojure atoms or Java locks. Atoms can only be used to protect a single value so you would need a protocol for locking acquisition to deal with that. For something like that, you'd probably end up using a mutable data structure like a Java array. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Clojure" group.
