It has become increasingly clear that any specification will have
an unavoidable impact on compiler optimization. Some currently
common compiler optimizations need to be adapted to ensure thread
safety. But this also reinforces the urgency for thread support in
C++: Current implementations make it much harder than it should be
to write correct multithreaded code.

Our progress has been slowed by both the technical difficulties of
defining a memory model that is compatible with a high performance
atomics library, and by disagreements about the atomics library
itself.
