Is the concern about poor performance when ntsync is in use, or is nesting a lot of spinlocks like that something that could cause problems for unrelated tasks? I'm not familiar enough with the scheduler to know if this can be abused.
The problem is keeping preemption disabled for potentially a fairly long time. By doing that you potentially affect the performance of other tasks.
