Cc: Steffen Hoffmann added

The get_known_users method added to EnvironmentStub in [2799] looks like an unnecessary override that makes it difficult to test the true behaviour of get_known_users. It's straightforward to modify the tests to make the override unnecessary.

Removing the override is an API change; if anyone has concerns about that I can probably find a way to keep some backwards compatibility. A search of t-h.o reveals only one use of EnvironmentStub.known_users: browser:/tracformsplugin/trunk/0.11/tracforms/formdb.py@11137:418#L414.

Proposed changes in log:rjollos.git:t11868, based on the branch from #11867.

I considered fixing this on 1.0-stable. Let me know any thoughts on that. I get the following results with attachment:test_get_known_users.py:

Num Users Time w/o caching First retrieval with caching Retrieval from cache
1k 7 ms 12 ms < 1 ms
10k 70 ms 120 ms < 1 ms
100k 800 - 900 ms 1200 ms < 5 ms

Not surprisingly it scales linearly with number of users.
