i'm wondering if this is a feature not a bug (sorry, i've always wanted to say 
that ;-)... relating to the new zodb cache impl toby did thats in 2.6. what 
exactly are you doing and how are you doing it? are you holding on to 
connections for more than the length of one request, how are you creating 
them, etc.

if your using the ttw zmi tools yes, but you can do things like this in 
unrestricted python you should be paying any more penalty than you would 
given the design costs of opening up a db connection per user, which is 
horribly inefficient anyways.
