A) use a native client, or failing that deferToThread I expect.

B) No.

C) No, you need a cache per thread/process. (bug 459418)

D) That would work fine.

Back to A, you could try the (experimental) native client at

Contributions gratefully received.

Note that calling anything that returns a collection is currently
broken due to

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/wadllib/+bug/529998

but I have had no response about the viability of my proposed
solution.

Thanks,
