Another advantage to shorter sleeps is it reduces the latency of anything else your program needs to do, such as exit gracefully, reschedule the event, or whatever. Not too short, because that uses more CPU time. It also makes a difference if the clock gets reset :) Cheers _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
