Anil,

I think that attribute option has to do with database interaction, and
not with how the PB and it's cache materialize and distribute objects. 
I'm not sure about this, but I've tested several of these modes
including serializable, repeatable-read and read-uncommitted and none of
those modes made the PB return distinct instances of an entity to
multiple threads.  My tests were only with the PB API.

Thanks,

Mark
