Another thing you might try is to subclass Pool and add an apply_async () wrapper which would wait for _taskqueue.qsize() to reach the desired size. You would probably do this wait in a loop with a small sleep. This approach would avoid needing a second Queue, but you would also add some delay to your producer due to the sleep (something you're not currently worried about). The minimum sleep may be something like 1 ms (it's really system dependent), but the time it takes for a thread blocked on a mutex to wake up is often more on the order of microseconds, which you have with your blocking queue. I doubt this offers you much satisfaction, though. > If the verdict is no, I'll be happy to file a bug report.
