Really? That'd be bad. Might it be possible to have the syncprov overlay 
always queue the results in syncops->s_res a let a separate thread send 
them to the consumers? That should decouple the thread that's handling 
the ADD/MOD Request and the syncrepl Provider. Is that feasible and 
would it be worth the effort (I'd guess that'll add quite a bit of 
overhead to the syncprov overlay).
