John O'Hara commented on JBJCA-1305:
------------------------------------

I think that a configurable option would be a good idea, allowing users to determine how the semaphore should behave for different use cases.

> Under heavy contention, a fair semaphore causes performance degradation for threads trying to acquire a permit from the semaphore.  Changing the semaphore to not fair alleviates the performance degradation under heavy contention.
