I looked into the archives for the discussion that led up to ecb0d20a9,
and found it here:

The test cases I tried in that thread said that POSIX semas were *faster*
... by single-digit percentages, but still faster. So I think we really
need to study this issue, rather than just take one contrary result as
being gospel.
