I suspect that if you were to use actual semaphores it would be even
worse, the semaphore implementation doesn't do lock-stealing nor does it
have fancy assembly fast paths.

In fact, I don't know why you even bother with sems, they're a
deprecated serialization primitive that really shouldn't be used
anymore.
