My next step is to apply hardware transactions to improve STM performance. For this I will need to collect some meaningful STM benchmarks. If anyone has some particular use cases or code where they would like to see improved STM performance on I would love to know. There are several potential improvements to the existing STM performance that I will also investigate along the way.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>
