I recently posted some thoughts on the twisted mailing list about Stackless
Twisted integration. I didn't get a response :-(
That said, my guess is that you are butting against two things:
1) Clock resolution. 1/10 = .1 1/100 = .01 1/1000 = .0001 (?)
2) Overhead from system I/O calls (under the hood, you are making a
call to select or epoll). Smaller the number, the faster you are
driving the reactor loop.
Cheers,
Andrew
