get() calls take ~140ms to return?

[diranged]

It seems after doing some simple load testing that we're taking ~140ms to return results from the .get() method on the first request. Subsequent requests are obviously lightning fast because the data is stored in memory.

This isn't a huge deal for clients that only make a few requests, but if you have to request hundreds of different paths, then this is a huge performance bottleneck.

For now I'm treating this like a bug, because it feels wrong that it should take this long. Will dig into it and put my results here when I'm done.
