Comment (by brucedechant):

 Frank,

 The FDO team would be able to best answer your first question.

 You are correct Frank as we should have caught this sooner. We are still
 learning. :)

 By adding a mutex to essential block everything inside the GDAL provider
 to simulate a singled threaded provider is not the right solution in order
 to be compliant. Ideally, you only want to block when absolutely necessary
 and not for everything. This will allow maximum performance and will allow
 the server to take full advantage of the provider.

 If you have any threading questions I would be more then happy to discuss
 them with you via email or phone.

 Thanks,
 Bruce
