Suffice it to say that I'm not convinced, nor am I convinced that mutex's around data structures is any different than critical sectioning.
They are essentially the same thing, in that the critical section is almost always the code that deals with a particular (shared) data structure.
I'd argue that mutexes around data structures allow more concurrency than critical sections. It's the "lock the data - not code" principle. Think of the case where there are a thousand instances of the data structure and one critical section.
