No, it should be per-call. In fact, with two users who authenticated
at about the same time, the updates will not necessarily be sent at
the same time (for additional scalability). Still, you want to pay
attention to the CPU once initially configured to see the reaction
for your given situation.

I don't know of a way, and again for scalability reasons I don't
think you would want one mass update.
