It would be great that way but then the client changed the requirements
on us:

:p
If the collected data were TLS, then the dumping thread should be able
to ask each thread to provide data collected so far. That either
requires synchronization, which I did, which necessitated shared
Collector objects; or messaging, which would require each thread
checking their Concurrency message box.
I don't know...
A third option came to me: Each thread periodically puts their data to a
common location and dumper dumps whatever is aggregated up to that
point. This would reduce contention.
Thats also a nice idea, e.g. the collectors could aggregate their data
and only propagate it once every second or every 10 seconds, or every
1000 events or something! Will think about that some more!
Thanks a lot!
