That's weird. Preemption should happen every few dozen milliseconds unless you've purposely increased the preemption delay.
To me, it smells like a call into a C extension which isn't releasing the GIL before starting a time-consuming operation.
Sorry, I think I misled you both -- "a long time" is actually the few dozen milliseconds of a normal preemption, which is only long relative to the single millisecond that the consumer typically takes to handle a request.
