Hi,

I'm preparing a python server that sends java classes and resources to
custom java class loader. In order to make it faster I don't want to use
URLClassLoader that uses HTTP protocol 1.0 and for each class/resource
creates own connection.
Instead I'd like to use raw sockets with simple protocol:

 - class loader sends a line terminated with \n with resource to get
 - python server reads that line, gets the file and sends back an
integer with file length and then the file itself
 - class loader reads a lenght integer and then reads the remainig data


The problem is when I try to read several files the first one is read
quite fast, but the rest is read 40 x slower. For example (time is in
seconds):

% python client.py client.py client.py client.py server.py server.py
init 0.00066089630127
client.py 0.000954866409302
client.py 0.0408389568329
client.py 0.0409188270569
server.py 0.0409059524536
server.py 0.0409259796143

what's wrong here?

thanks,

        conn.sendall(struct.pack("!i", len(data)))
        conn.sendall(data)
