Running under an operating system on a uniprocessor there clearly
must be a method of yielding to the lock-holder. In a preemptive
scheduling environment this is automatic (although a yielding call
is more polite). In a non-preemptive scheduling environment,
a simple call to yield the processor should suffice, and that
still leaves the overhead as approximately a memory read and
test.
