> I happened to notice broctl check on one of our test boxes was slow.  traced 
> it to sqlite commits() being very slow.  Then noticed that broctl seems to 
> call set_state() with the same key, val over and over again... once for each 
> worker.. so a few thousand sets just to run broctl check.
> Changing set_state to
> {code}
>     # Set a dynamic state variable.
>     def set_state(self, key, val):
>         key = key.lower()
>         if self.state.get(key) == val:
>             return
>         self.state[key] = val
>         self.state_store.set(key, val)
> {code}
> Seemed to mostly fix it, aside from this:
> {code}
> Set manager-port to 47760
> Set manager-port to 47761
> Set manager-port to 47760
> Set manager-port to 47761
> Set manager-port to 47760
> Set manager-port to 47761
> Set manager-port to 47760
> Set manager-port to 47761
> Set manager-port to 47760
> Set manager-port to 47761
> Set manager-port to 47760
> Set manager-port to 47761
> {code}
> any idea why that is flipping around like that?
> We should possibly add a way for broctl to update state vars without calling 
> commit where it knows it will be setting a large number of state vars in a 
> loop.
