But perhaps there's some > good way to improve that... No go. I know about that work already. It was done I believe for Cisco as contract-work and is living in Tcl CVS under some branch. The problem is: this is just the single-thread interp-clone. Nothing that can be shared. Since some years I've been trying various approaches how to tackle this problem but I really found no realy good and universal way. I believe there isn't one, after all those years. I will try just this one more idea with unknown-overloading and dispatching unknown command to a battery of preloaded interps living in different threads. Although not 100% transparent (people must code with couple of assumptions) I think it is the most one can do with Tcl. And, I do not think this will improve over time. Hopefully I will soon find piece of mind with this issue and stop going on other people's nervers and saturate email lists :-) Thanks for following so far!
