Yes, if it's hundreds of clients continuously grabbing read locks. But
if it's something like: send all the readers a signal, then request a
write lock as a way to wait for them to finish; then you'd normally
expect to get it soon after the last client drops its lock.
I don't know, maybe that's uncommon.
