What cost is that? At least on unix systems, fork() tends have *trivial* overhead in terms of both time and space, because the processes use lazy copy-on-write memory underneath, so the real costs of resource-consumption for spawning a new process vs. spawning a new thread should be comparable. Are you referring to overhead associated with inter-process communication? If so, what overhead is that? -- Don't be afraid to ask (Lf.((Lx.xx) (Lr.f(rr)))). -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
