This is a snipped from the stress example program I posted some days ago

Would it be possible to have a global variable that indicates if I have to poll for events, calling a function in-between every perl opcode is going to be very slow.
Signals are converted to Parrot events and in the case of a program termination signal get broadcasted to all running interpreters.
[1] BTW: Why does Ponie use the rather limited extension interface?
Because Dan said so, and because doing an include parrot.h in perl leads to one million or so cpp and gcc errors.
