I haven't actually given this any thought before, but my best bet is that they are there so the process has something to clone when creating a new thread after killing an old thread. There is always a main thread sitting around also which would explain the (threads +1) * num processes + 1 threads you are seeing.
Graham would be the authority on all this, so he may chime in a bit later. ~Carl On Thu, Apr 28, 2011 at 2:58 PM, Brian D <brian.dewe...@gmail.com> wrote: > Using Apache 2.2.14, mod_wsgi 3.3, and "WSGIDaemonProcess <name> > processes=2 threads=1 <etc>", I've noticed that there are actually 3 > threads running in each mod_wsgi process, 4 if you count the main > thread.
