That's also basically what the CA caching does.

If you ask me, that's almost like begging for problems since you then ditch
the caches and ruins the ability to do things faster in subsequent transfers,
over and over.

An additional way that the CA cache *could* be shared would be to add it to
the share interface and share it between separate easy handles that way.

Sure that's possible, but is the difference between that and the blob approach
you already mentioned adding anything extra?
