Java: Synchronized and Locks
Answer
Using 'synchronized' excessively without need.
Overusing 'synchronized' can lead to performance bottlenecks, especially when unnecessary synchronization is applied. It serializes thread execution, which can be detrimental in high-performance systems. For example, synchronizing read-only operations is a common mistake that can unnecessarily slow down an e-commerce site.
