That might explain things.

I think you shouldn't say it fixes it as we simply don't know that. It may be
related to so perhaps say that instead.

It creates a connection_cache in each thread that is created. Once created in a
given thread, that connection cache is reused there? I'm not sure you can say it
does nothing?

I think that piece of code was working already?

What was the issue out of interest?

The challenge with autobuilder testing of this is that there is only a small
portion of the autobuilder tests which exercise this code (testsdkext for
images). The current issues only occur intermittently so it is hard to know if
any given change fixes anything (or introduces a new race).

One more interesting test which may more quickly find issues would be to make
everything use the http mirror on the autobuilder I guess. We'd need to figure
out the configuration for that though.

Cheers,

Richard
