Hi,

Some more questions still:

It seems a worker uses the exact same thread to handle each request.

Is that guaranteed to happen for the lifetime of a worker? Or are
there cases where a unicorn worker might spin a new thread to handle
the next requests?

If the same thread is always used, isn't that a potential issue when
programmers use thread local variables, which are not reset at the
next request?  (I know, the usage of thread local variables is not
recommended, but take a random rails project, go into their $GEM_HOME
and do grep -r Thread.current . , see what I mean..)


Cheers,
Jimmy
