Ned Deily added the comment: OS X 10.4 (and presumably earlier versions) also does not handle the low switchinterval gracefully. Monitoring system activity and running with -v, test_threaded_import does seem to progress but *very* slowly (I quit after 45 minutes with the test only partially complete) at 100% CPU (mainly sys time). 10.5 and later systems are fine. Here's a patch that extends the FreeBSD solution to OS X 10.4 systems.
