That's why I asked for absolute numbers for the overhead difference. A percentage doesn't tell me if launching a process costs 50µs more or 500ms more. The only question is whether process launch overhead is significant compared to total process runtime (for non-trivial work, that is, not "echo 0" ;-)). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue11314> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
