Hi Folks: This is what I am suggesting. The reactor tasklet before calling the underlying select/poll system call should look at the scheduler queue. If there are runnable tasklets, then call select/poll with a timeout. Otherwise block indefinitely. The idea is if your application is consists of mostly I/O bound tasklets, they will be blocked on channels and will eventually be scheduled and run when there is I/O for them.
I'll write a simple example to illustrate.....

I don't know much about webservers, WSGIservers etc, but what i also tried was putting a schedule() in this mainloop (which i think polls the socket). Is this what you suggest? It seems to work well, apart from the occasional weird AttributeError, which i'll have to look into. However others discouraged this approach, but i never quite understood why.
