Correct except for the case of a parent/child relationship across threads as the parent can't cleanup the children in this case. FWIW, I'm not talking about the SMS used for a request. It could be cleaned up (i.e. reset) after the request is completed (exactly like it is now - no code changes). It'd free the resources - just like now. We're simply divorcing its ancestor (the per-thread SMS) from the per-process SMS. The children of this per-thread SMS still have the same manner of operation as before. -- justin
