        In J2SE 1.4.2 a memory barrier instruction was added whenever most
        thread state transitions are performed in order to fix a bug were
        a race condition could allow a thread to escape from blocking
        during a safepoint operation. The addition of the memory barrier
        has added substantial overhead to all JNI, VM and calling native
        functions.
