Yes, please do. I'm also not sure that just always dropping the lock is the best strategy either. I think a simple counter with a nice comment that explains why we need to periodically drop the lock is a better solution as it gives a way to experiment with the right value to ensure fairness between the threads without having excessing lock acquisition/release.
