The process scheduler give a time for each process and the processor context switch is expensive. If you have hundreds of processes (you'll have because a high sleep time) can consume all resources. In my opinion, drop the connection and use a tool to block networks on firewall level is a better approach. -- Reinaldo de Carvalho http://korreio.sf.net http://python-cyrus.sf.net "Don't try to adapt the software to the way you work, but rather yourself to the way the software works" (myself)
