If you need the speed, then measure. If you only have two processes,
chances are that you can't measure any kind of difference really, because a
single RX mutex would be enough for you to handle both processes. The
read_concurrency and write_concurrency options tend to kick in at a certain
core count and two processes can at most invoke 2 cores, and even then the
chance is that they won't run at the same time in which case most of the
points here are moot.

Rule of thumb: a read or write to ETS takes less than 1us. So you can often
run about a million of them per second.
