Well, one problem is that it would break sync rep.
Another problem is that pretty much the last thing I want to do is
push more work under WALInsertLock. Based on the testing I've done so
far, it seems like WALInsertLock, ProcArrayLock, and CLogControlLock
are the main bottlenecks here. I'm focusing on ProcArrayLock and
CLogControlLock right now, but I am pretty well convinced that
WALInsertLock is going to be the hardest nut to crack, so putting
anything more under there seems like it's going in the wrong
direction. IMHO, anyway.
