I wrote a small xmlrpc client on Windows 7 with python 2.6 srv = xmlrpclib.Server('http://localhost:80') I was able to perform about 1 rpc call per second After changing to srv = xmlrpclib.Server('http://127.0.0.1:80') I was able to perform about 10 to 16 rpc calls per second. So it seems, that under windows 7 the host name lookup occurs for every RPC call
Not necesarily. There is another difference: 127.0.0.1 is an IPv4 address, localhost maps to both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses (::1)
I vaguely remember a problem with that - IPv6 is tried first, doesn't work, only then IPv4, and that slows down the whole process.
Try disabling completely the IPv6 stack, if you don't need it. -- Gabriel Genellina -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
