i still don't think that scales. the cache might still be warm, since
the server is repeatedly invoked, but its still 2 context switches
per-plugin invocation, and i don't think this is reasonable over the
long haul. the point of a plugin is that "its just a function call
away", and whether its a context switch to the *same* server or N of
them, its still a context switch.
