STINNER Victor added the comment: "If you want to keep the current approach, nothing prevents from using a fixed "slack" value, independant of the selector (e.g. 1ms seems reasonable)."
select() and kqueue() are able to sleep less than 1 ms. Using a slack of 1 ms would reduce the accuracy. I don't see why we should limit the accuracy. Why 1 ms? Because of poll/epoll? What about Windows and its resolution of 15.6 ms? Well, under 1 ms, don't expect accurate results :-) For example on my fast Linux box, a select() with a timeout of 61 us takes 137 us (elapsed time measued in Python). ---------- _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue20505> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
