40 ** given PR monitor. In this way a monitor can be associated with another
41 ** object without preallocating a monitor for all objects.
43 ** A hash table is used to quickly map addresses to individual monitors
44 ** and the system automatically grows the hash table as needed.
46 ** Cache monitors are about 5 times slower to use than uncached monitors.
54 ** Like PR_EnterMonitor except use the "address" to find a monitor in the
55 ** monitor cache. If successful, returns the PRMonitor now associated
56 ** with "address". Note that you must PR_CExitMonitor the address to
57 ** release the monitor cache entry (otherwise the monitor cache will fill
58 ** up). This call will return NULL if the monitor cache needs to be
59 ** expanded and the system is out of memory.
