Not really. Can you design away the need for a CS per client? In my
server, the client object, and data received for it in the completion
routine, is queued to a small number of threads for processing. A thread
gets an object from the queue, processes it to a conclusion, usally by
queueing it to the IOCP read thread so another IOCP read can be issued.
There again, since my server has a half-life of 90 seconds, maybee I should
have more CS, (though I don't really thing my problem lies with controlling
access - it's much simpler than that - buggy code).

Rgds,
Martin
