Yes and no.  The issue in our application is that we need to make many 
authentications quickly (mostly for the same pts ids over and over), and 
cannot afford the 1 pag per second cost to create a new pag each time we need 
one.

So for us it is 1) a workaround of a different problem, and/or 2) a 
performance enhancement.
