           Summary: Slow memory allocation in multi-thread app

Description of Problem:

Allocating memory in a multi-thread application is very expensive when using
mono on mac os x.  The behaviour is very different w.r.t. windows and linux.
I made a small example that simulate a working process that need to allocate
dynamic memory.  First I solve a taks using one thread and then using two
thread. I expected the computation to be solved faster using 2 thread (assuming
the program is running in a multi-core hardware), instead the running time is
10 times the 1 thread code 

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1.  gmcs Main.cs
2.  mono Main.exe


Actual Results:  (runned with mac os)
One Thread time=00:00:00.6118510
Two Thread time=00:00:06.8659580


Expected Results:  (runned with linux)

One Thread time=00:00:00.6511980
Two Thread time=00:00:00.3260190


How often does this happen? 

Always
