  LF_BACKOFF should be used to improve performance on hyperthreaded CPUs. Intel
  recommends to use it in spin loops also on non-HT machines to reduce power
  consumption (see e.g http://softwarecommunity.intel.com/articles/eng/2004.htm)

  Running benchmarks for spinlocks implemented with InterlockedCompareExchange
  and YieldProcessor shows that much better performance is achieved by calling
  YieldProcessor in a loop - that is, yielding longer. On Intel boxes setting
  loop count in the range 200-300 brought best results.
