[Seaside] state in request handler

I'm using a seaside rest handler and I was wondering today how concurrency issues are handeld there. The request handler is a component that is always the same object for incoming requests. I need to set  a heavy weight component at incoming request and I want to have it accessible until the response is send. Where is the be place to put such kind of state? 
Starting to add an instance variable in the request handler I had the impression this is a bad thing to do. And then I was wondering how multiple threads are handled in seaside. Or better what operation can be considered thread safe and where I need to put extra effort to protect intermediate state while processing. My component needs to be initialized by the incoming request context and is accessed multiple times until process has finished.

Any hints?
