Java: Synchronized and Locks
Answer
Excessive blocking. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Using 'synchronized' excessively can lead to performance bottlenecks, as threads are forced to wait for the lock, reducing concurrency. In a high-traffic flash sale, this can slow down processing as threads queue for lock access.
