Why do you need so many mutexes?
Yeah, as a threading non-expert but somewhat educated bystander, what Richard described smells like a design with many locks at object granularity, which is almost always a mistake. Have you considered revisiting the architecture?

What is the alternative to placing the mutex at object level? Having some kind of mutex pool?
“at object level” != “object granularity” By the latter I mean a system where every object has its own mutex, without regard to the invariants *between* objects in the system that must be protected. -- Dave Abrahams BoostPro Computing http://www.boostpro.com
