Yeah, that's why I stated the primary question. The atomic operation there is mostly cosmetic, not really helpful. In the whole other operation, we don't guarantee the thread safety at all. So, implementing the atomic op only in a very small part of the whole code appears like a superfluous optimization to me.
The question is, if we decide to remove this atomic stuff, how do we verify that it actually causes no problems, on all architectures, etc?
