One possibility I saw in a talk on YouTube a couple of years ago (sorry, couldn't find the link).
1. Have a buffered channel of clients. 2. Try to grab a client from the channel for each request, using a time.Timer to time out after a reasonable amount of time (one second, 100 ms, whatever) 3. If it times out, create a new client and use it. 4. Regardless of whether you re-used or created the client, put it into the channel when you're done with it (use a Timer again and just drop it if it times out). You end up re-using a fixed-size set of clients. You're not using one, and you're not using one per request. Somewhere in between. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
