How long are they? Typically between 20 and 60s. This is the time it takes to send and receive a single small packet on an already-active tcp connection to ensure it is still alive. Most of the time it is < 1ms. I don't have strong evidence that GIL issues are causing the problem, because I can't reliably reproduce the issue. But the general setup is similar (one thread doing light io experiencing odd delays in a process with multiple threads that are often cpu-bound, on a multi-core machine) thanks, -Mike _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
