Actually Nathan is doing the work. Anyhow, we will not completely
abandom the version we have in the moment since on some platforms
space consumption is more important than speed and here the current
implementation we have is superior.
To decide which version we use somebody will have to make measurements
with a thread-safe version of either implementation. My guess is that
the SGI version is faster since we don't have to care for locking.
