Changing one part of the software in a downward compatible way must not affect other parts of the system, while invariants of a system should be statically verified at all times. The idea is that if you are doing the same operation on a lot of data ie, transforming a lot of polygons from 3d to 2d in a graphics card you only issue the instruction for the operation once, but feed in a lot of data.

Finegrain thread synchronization has been proved, in several cases, to be outperformed by efficient implementations of the combining technique where a single thread, called the combiner, holding a coarsegrain lock, serves, in addition to its own synchronization request, active requests announced by other threads while they are waiting by performing some form of spinning.
