This makes sense. Sadly, I am integrating a piece of 3rd party
software that did not do this. Pretty much it was one API call at a
time and not easy to change.

I went to a one runtime per thread model like we had discussed. That
did not seem to buy anything noticeable like you had warned. I
uncovered some bottlenecks elsewhere in its use of JS and that has me
"over the hump" now and my original performance problem has gone away.
Thanks for everything.
