Comment(by warmerdam):

 I will note that GDAL 1.7 and newer are pretty safe in a multithreaded for
 read only access to common formats like GeoTIFF.  Not all drivers are
 threadsafe though and things are definately not threadsafe in the context
 of *writing* through GDAL.  Possibly the provider could avoid acquiring
 the GDAL lock for read access to some whitelisted file formats or
 alternatively a flag could be exposed providing some control over this to
 the user.
