ResourceProviderFactory vs. ResourceProvider Question

[dan mcweeney]

I've been implementing the ResourceProviderFactory and wanted to find 
out if the providers that are returned from the factory are ever used by 
different threads or ever dropped into a pool and reused. Are there any 
differences between registering a Factory vs. just registering the 
provider that I need to be aware of?

I did some testing and seems like they are never reused nor used by 
multiple threads but, I just wanted to confirm my anecdotal testing.
