There is little reason not to call it but yes I believe private
connections do modify a table when created.  I can't quite remember
without diving into the code but the chances that there is no
interaction vs. the chances that you just haven't hit a race condition
are tilted towards the latter.  The performance hit when turning on
threading should be negligible.
