Now that I've almost got RagbagDataSource working fully in Dazzle, I'm
beginning to think about effieciency issues with RagbagDataSource.

Can someone tell me how many instances of the DataSource could potentially
be created?  Is there only one an all requests for that datasource get
channeled to it or are more instantiated when there is an incoming request
and the there is no idle instance?

I ask because the Ragbag data structure is in-memory and I'd really like
to avoid creating multiple instances of it as initialisation is slow.
