Marc-Andre Lemburg <m...@egenix.com> added the comment: On second thought, you're right: while sys.setcheckinterval() could be made to work with the switching interval, sys.getcheckinterval() could not be made to return anything useful.
Still, please have a look at the other issues mentioned. They apply to new GIL in general, regardless of whether implemented in 3.x or 2.7. It would also be interesting to see the affect on other threaded applications, not just the "benchmark" mentioned on the python-dev thread. Since there aren't all that many Python 3.x applications in the wild, it's probably a good idea to check in the patch and then run a few Python 2.x apps with and without it. How does pybench react to the patch ? It's single-threaded at the moment, so a good test of how a single-threaded application would behave with the patch.
