I'm a phantom in the server's domain,
A specter of inefficiency to disdain.
Thread contention, a silent woe,
Guess my name, in parallel's shadow

Deadlock? gridlock? lockup? like cockblocking threads?

RIDDLE (Hard at least I hope):
I'm a phantom in the server's domain,
A specter of inefficiency to disdain.
Thread contention, a silent woe,
Guess my name, in parallel's shadow

Rules:

• Each person can guess as many times as they want, only 1 guess per post (if you make multiple guesses in a post the whole post will be ignored).
• No cheating! IE (looking it up, it takes the fun away for everyone!)
• The first person to guess it correctly gets it, and then we move on to the next riddle.
• I will DM whoever wins to set up the code.
