Yeah, I'd want to see this claim backed up by some examples.  The only data I share globally in my own apps is the occasional container.  Configuration data, a user database, whatever.  I'll also frequently move data between threads while dispatching tasks, but otherwise everything is thread-local.  I imagine there are other reasonable methods for using shared data, but I don't know what they are.
