Hey Arnaud,

Thanks for letting us know about this issue.

Do you mean "is this intended that we create hundreds of caches to do simple 
tasks"?  then I think the answer is no.

Or do you mean "is this intended behavior to associate caches with 
GrouperSession"?  I think the answer is yes.

Unfortunately when you initialize an EhCache controller, it will create all 
caches configured in the config file.  And Grouper was designed to have a 
cache boundary in a GrouperSession, so with each new GrouperSession created, 
there is a new EhCache controller, and all those dozens of caches.

We should profile this and see if it is a bottleneck...  I added a Jira issue.

Thanks,
Chris
