Can someone explain briefly the notion of "syncronization" as it is being used
here?

And I should learn to check before opening my mouth. The article I was
referring to was written by people from IBM TJ Watson Labs, not from
Sun, and was actually published in the 1998 PLDI proceedings. The
correct citation is:
Thin Locks: Featherweight Synchronization for Java
Bacon, et. al.
ACM SIGPLAN '98 Conference on Programming Language Design and
Implementation
SIGPLAN Notices Volume 33, Number 5, May, 1998
They claim a speed improvement of 5x in the JDK 1.1.2 VM for AIX, for
whatever that signifies for other implementations.
