    You mean mutex? Arc allows synchronous read only access by multiple threads, so it’s not a performance bottleneck. Locking a mutex would be one.

      I mean it could be Mutex, or Rwlock or anything atomic. It’s just when I have to out stuff into an Arc<> to pass around I know trouble is coming.

        Oh, I did not know that. Well, it makes sense that it has a heap allocation, as it becomes more or less global. Though not sure why the atomic operations are needed when the value inside is immutable.
