Comment 6 for bug 1205527

Hi Stephen!

I've tested your last commit, and your changes seemed to have worked, but it still looks a bit unstable: sometimes the startup is very fast, and sometimes it is still slow. The good thing is that the machine doesn't hang up anymore. =)

Here are my new marks:
  - AMD Fx-8120 3.1GHz (8-cores) with 8GB RAM: from 2 to 7 seconds to start.
  - AMD Phenon 2 X4 3.0 GHz with 8GB RAM: from 3 to 15 seconds to start.

As you can see, in the best case, the startup time dropped from 35 seconds to 3.

I consider it a huge improvement, but the fact that a new thread is created for every unique member that has 25 characters still concerns me (think about a thousand unique members: will a thousand threads still be ok?)

I'll be looking forward to test your future fixes.
