Is the different between a response in 0.1 seconds and 0.15 seconds
particularly noticable with a GUI? I'm guessing at the actual times but
surely they are going to be very small (to the human eye), no?...

Could you provide the locking as an option at compile time? I.e. have 2
packages that providing locking but one is "begin null end;" (or "is null;"
for Ada2005, yes?) for everything.
