I never suggested that. In fact, I'm on the record recommending about two processes per CPU core. There are many principles on which to allocate threads/processes: objects, tasks, stimulus sources, CPUs. I'm advocating CPUs. If you use nonblocking primitives, a single process is enough to keep a CPU busy and the throughput high. With multiple processors, you need more processes, but generally not more than one. You should give the hardware a chance to optimize the dataflows a bit so having some extra processes is probably a good idea. Marko -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
