Is it possible that multiple threads all furiously generating list structure would have some sort of contention for the memory allocation state?
My losses of multicore utilization seem to be correlated with the generation of lots of random expressions in concurrent threads. I'd been worrying about contention for the random states, which I think I've now made thread local, but now I wonder if the contention might be in the allocation. Possible? If so, then is there a way around it?
