A method and system for managing ownership of a released synchronization mechanism is provided. In a preferred embodiment, a number of entities, such as threads, are attempting to acquire the synchronization mechanism when the synchronization mechanism becomes available. Each of the entities has a priority indicator that indicates the relative urgency of the attempt by the entity to acquire the synchronization mechanism. The method and system first identifies one of the entities attempting to acquire the synchronization mechanism that has the priority indicator that indicates that its attempt to acquire the synchronization mechanism is of the highest urgency. The method and system then determines whether any entity attempted to acquire the synchronization mechanism during a foregoing selected period of time. If an entity has attempted to acquire the synchronization mechanism during the selected period of time, then the method and system assigns ownership of the synchronization mechanism to the identified entity. If no entity has attempted to acquire the synchronization mechanism during the selected period of time, then the method and system defers the assignment of ownership of the synchronization mechanism to a later time.
