Does the USE directive load a new instance of the object per request? Or is it cached?
I'm trying to speed up a legacy app that uses TT (which is new to me). I discovered the app was making numerous identical database calls to retrieve the authenticated user's info. Each template includes the line [% USE Util; %] at the top -- it's this class where the user info is retrieved. I modified Util.pm so that it checks to see if it already has a user property, checks to make sure the user property contains the same username as the requested user, and if so returns that instead of generating a database call. This drops the load time by 75%, but I am concerned that the change may introduce a race condition. If 2 users request the page at the same time and the Util object is shared, it's possible that user A's info could be returned to user B, or vice-versa.
