I've been using OCC to avoid this problem with my apps, and I couldn't be more happy. It mostly voids issues with priority inversion. (Not exactly, if using pre-emtive scheduling and long running high priority tasks.) It doesn't matter if something is stuck, looping, crashes or so, it still won't bring down the whole system. + Offers great parallel performance as long as resources aren't too widely shared. I got sick'n'tired administering (and creating) systems as DevOp, when I were using traditional locks and all the problems which those caused, even on top of poor performance.
