Erm, modulo that bugger ;) that'd never should up in the non-contended
case (and that does not change numbers):
inc-lock in cache takes 7.28ns
xadd-lock in cache takes 8.93ns
vadd-lock in cache takes 10.34ns
zadd-lock in cache takes 8.43ns
inc-lock out of cache takes 87.98ns
xadd-lock out of cache takes 88.89ns
vadd-lock out of cache takes 89.59ns
zadd-lock out of cache takes 89.86ns
