Actually, we don't have threads there at all, in Auth. There are some threads in
the Xfrin and Xfrout, but just for the long-running handling, so the counters
are incremented outside of them AFAIK. The architecture for resolver was not
fixed. So speaking about atomic increments sounds little bit premature.

Also, I'm not sure if it's faster to use the (sometimes very slow) atomic
instructions, or one mutex for all the counters at once.

With regards
