The atomic operations themselves aren't "performance critical", but they are used within performance critical code -- after all, if mutexes were all that, lockless primitives would be obsolete. I can't see them being a bottleneck, really, but a bit extra performance at the cost of someone else's time isn't such a bad deal, especially when they aren't getting paid for it. ;)
