STM Commentary

[Ryan Yates]

Thanks!  I'll work on getting it onto the wiki soon.  My next step is to
apply hardware transactions to improve STM performance.  For this I will
need to collect some meaningful STM benchmarks.  If anyone has some
particular use cases or code where they would like to see improved STM
performance on I would love to know.  There are several potential
improvements to the existing STM performance that I will also investigate
along the way.
