Abstract
A JavaScript enhancement is provided that increases performance of the JavaScript by avoiding the use of locking mechanisms in multi-threaded sessions. To do so, an object is deemed owned by a thread exclusively until the script is ended or suspended. Because scripts are typically short and complete quickly, the overhead to start and end a request containing a script is much less than the overhead of locking each and every object access done by the script, on average.
