Currently, readers are awakened individually. On most systems, this results in significant wakeup delay from one reader to the next, which can result in the first and last reader having sole access to the synchronization primitive in question. If that synchronization primitive involves shared memory, those readers will rack up a huge number of operations in a very short time, causing large perturbations in the results. This commit therefore has the readers busy-wait after being awakened, and uses a new n_started variable to synchronize their start times.
