That is a concurrent programming technique; I know it as "make the critical
section as small and fast as possible".
(A critical section is the code that runs with the locks "on", and never
runs in paralell to another critical section)
Make sure the critical section has a very small complexity (usually O(1) ),
make sure there are no deadlocks, rely on listeners and events instead of
active waiting, and you should be fine.
