When is ReaderWriterLockSlim better than a simple lock?

Question

I\'m doing a very silly benchmark on the ReaderWriterLock with this code, where reading happens 4x more often than writting:

class Program
{
    static void          


        

Answer 1

I guess this is because of the sleeps you have in you reader and writer threads.
Your read thread has a 500tims 50ms sleep which is 25000 Most of the time it is sleeping
