   I think @bdoyle0182 comment hits the root of the confusion.  OpenWhisk will 
never reuse a container that was running action A to now run action B, even if 
A and B are actions of the same user.   
   
   There is a related concept of a stem cell container (the default 
configuration is here 
https://github.com/apache/openwhisk/blob/master/ansible/files/runtimes.json#L44-L56),
 where if there is unused capacity the system tries to hide container creation 
latency by keeping a few unused containers for popular runtimes+memory 
combinations up and running into which it can inject the code for a function on 
its first invocation.  But once the code is injected, these containers are 
bound to a specific function and will never be used for anything else.
