But if the IO thread spends 5 seconds, then Zope will be unresponsive for 5 seconds -- for me (and hopefully others, too) a far more critical situation than a (single) worker spending 5 seconds... The IO (ZServer) thread should only perform minimal work in its "asyncore" callbacks -- each callback should return within a few milliseconds. My argument does not argue against different threads between the IO thread and the worker threads, just against giving the IO thread significant work (whether or not you consider it application specific). -- Dieter _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - Zope-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
