I was not able to make some serious benchmark as all of the windows machines i have are virtualized systems. >From what i can measure the cygwin translation has a 10-15% impact in some area (mainly in startup phases so it is nothing relevant), but we plan to rewrite some critical part using the native windows api (we have already done that for the locking part that instead of pthreads uses windows mutexes). Another limit i have not investigated is windows select() implementation (on the others posix system we use more modern event facilities). But i suppose until you do not use it with hundreds of concurrent file descriptors you should not experiment problems. -- Roberto De Ioris http://unbit.it -- --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
