In certain circumstances (extremely slow or heavily loaded machine), thread
running TryEnter(int) may get switched right after starting stopwatch and
returning back after time has elapsed. In certain applications, this may
prevent application doing any progress and keeping machine busy.

TryEnter(int) should take spinlock if TryEnter() would take it in same
circumstances.
