(recording the previous commit 9d7d0d75 by Richie Vos)

add "since 1.378" in one changelog item

Eclipse package depends on this

An investigation on NECTAR-50 revealed that the dead lock prevention made in 02fbfd9e and c5269550 are causing slow down by having too many threads go through scouting, which in turn calls into classloader (which is synchronized.) Reduce the overhead by reusing sezpoz index so that classloading overhead is minimal.
