title: Frequency limit of writing to shared memory?
body: <p>Single threaded application (C++) continuously locks, writes and unlocks shared memory - <strong>four times a second</strong> (the loop is programically set to run once a second and there are 4 writes in the loop and no reads). </p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>EnterCriticalSection(cs);<br>
      WriteToSharedMem();<br>
    LeaveCriticalSection(cs);</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>Another application (C) will access this shared memory once every few <strong>minutes</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Are there any problems with writing to shared memory at this rate?</p>
