On e.g. i386 there is an optimisation to only do that locking if IsMultiThread is True (some other platforms might benefit from that optimization as well :/ ).

That’s probably it then even though I wasn’t growing the arrays by single elements (ReAllocMem didn’t give me problems). De facto Solution is to be safe and not use dynamic arrays in low-level high performance code.
