No, this didn''t answer the first question.  But it did answer the
second, completely unrelated question about the Action Cache
before_filter code.

For the first question: Rails doesn''t do threading, and has a lock to
keep multiple threads out of the Rails code (trust me, don''t try and
get around this)
