Huge performance loss with latest trunk

Description

I've attached my callstack below. I use to have acceptable multithreaded performance with gdal version 1.x. However, with 2.0(trunk) it seems a mutex is stopping all my threads. The virtual dataset sits on top of the tiff driver. What is pasted below is the location where all the threads are hung on a mutex, except the thread that got in(obviously ). I've pasted the callstack of the thread that gets into the tiff driver below as well. This is critical to us as what use to take seconds(sometimes milliseconds) now takes minutes. If this is not a bug(which I hope we find it is and is its a simple fix I can add today), can this get quickly designed out? I would hate to back out to version 1.x just because of this issue, as already have so much time invested into this version 2.

Thanks, V

Changed back to normal and make enhancment. I found that this got turned on. When I turned it off, our threads are not all stuck on the mutex and we are in parallel again.

CPLSetConfigOption("VSI_CACHE", "TRUE" );

How did you get VSI_CACHE set to TRUE ? This isn't automatically set by GDAL. I know QGIS does set it however.

It might be possible that VSI caching has negative performance effects with some read patterns where small amount of data must be fetched.

The other point is that the global cache mutex hits in that use case. There's an RFC ( http://trac.osgeo.org/gdal/wiki/rfc47_dataset_caching ) in development related to that
