Hi Mark,

I think having unique per-root locks might be a good idea. From a brief
test, I saw around 70 roots created when parsing the test file I have been
using. I have an initial idea for this that I don't think will be too
complicated. I will go over my idea with John to get his input and then get
back to you.

Best,
Heather
