Antoine Pitrou <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> added the comment: You can use setsockopt() to set the TCP_NODELAY flag and see if that improves things; sending thousands of 4-bytes packets isn't exactly the expected utilization of TCP.
As I said, socket.recv() is just a thin wrapper above the same-named C library function. Your code expects the kernel's TCP stack to send things as soon as you ask it to, but TCP is a high-level stream protocol and implementations usually have sophisticated algorithms in order to minimize the number of individual packets sent over the wire. By the way, if you want to build network applications (clients and servers), I suggest you take a look at the Twisted framework. It will free you from many low-level issues, although it won't prevent you from shooting yourself in the foot :-) _______________________________________ Python tracker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://bugs.python.org/issue3766> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
