ok, just reimplemented my _classContainer(className) method as follows:

    def _classContainer(self, className):
        """ return the instances folder for className """
        thread = currentThread()
        containerDict = getattr(thread, '_relClsContainerDict', None)
        if containerDict is None:
            containerDict = {}
            thread._relClsContainerDict = containerDict
        container = containerDict.get(className, None)
        if container is None:
            container = self.unrestrictedTraverse(self._classContainerPath(className))
            containerDict[className] = container
        return container

it seems to work fine, all tests pass, though i have a somewhat bad
feeliong of setting an attribute on the thread object directly.
comments?

best regards, jürgen herrmann
