How is it supposed to be slow, once its mapped into your process?
There's no OS interaction at all then.
If you are suggesting that the inter-process synch objects are slow,
then that may be so: just use interlocked
increment and a spin lock in place of a mutex and use an associated
event to wake up if necessary.
You dont have to use a named kernel mutex, though it may be handy while
setting up the shared memory.
If you are repeatedly changing the mappings - well, that may be
something that needs optimisation.
