re "The basic problem with serialising commands from asynchronous threads of executions (TOE), is that they frequently, very rapidly descend into lock-step. This where all the threads bar one end up waiting for the current thread to complete. And when it does, then next gets to do one thing, then the next. And before the queue is played out, the original thread has joined the end and you are into a cycle."

Either you are describing some specific experience of your own involving a retry loop combined with serialisation or are just imagining something incorrectly, but either way there is absolutely no justification for your attributing the behaviour you describe to the functionality I proposed. Come on, do you think IBM transaction monitors would have survived on the market for years if this were true?
