+ Write a "test-profile" that does echo client-server with threads;
+ profile reveals lock contention, memcpy/realloc of buffers, and
+ UTF-8 validation as hot spots. 20% of lock contention eliminated
+ with dbus_atomic_inc/dec implementation on x86. Much remaining
+ contention is global mempool locks for GList and DBusList.
+
+ * dbus/dbus-sysdeps.c (_dbus_atomic_inc, _dbus_atomic_dec): add
+ x86 implementation
+
+ * dbus/dbus-connection.c (struct DBusConnection): use
+ dbus_atomic_t for the reference count
+
+ * dbus/dbus-message.c (struct DBusMessage): declare
+ dbus_atomic_t values as volatile
+
+ * configure.in: code to detect ability to use atomic integer
+ operations in assembly, from GLib patch
+
+ * dbus/dbus-internals.c (_dbus_verbose_real): call getpid every
+ time, tired of it being wrong in threads and forked processes
+
+ * glib/test-profile.c: a little program to bounce messages back
+ and forth between threads and eat CPU
+
+ * dbus/dbus-connection.c: add debug spew macros for debugging
+ thread locks; include config.h at top; fix deadlock in
+ dbus_connection_flush()
+

* dbus/dbus-spawn.c: s/_exit/exit/ because it was keeping gcov
