There is no benefit of having RWMutex as we have one reader and multiple
writers. In such cases RWMutex has worse performance than Mutex.

Signal is not needed as we never need to wake up when the waiting
is lowered, only when increased.

Ticker behaves differently from what we want, we need a stable period
interval, but ticker doesn't provide that. From NewTicker docstring:
```
The ticker will adjust the time interval or drop ticks to make up for slow receivers.
```
Unfortunatelly there is no way to test it as the FakeClock doesn't
follow the real ticker behavior.
