In these sort of applications, batching helps a lot: less function calls, less I/O overhead, etc.. So TCP should likely *speed* things up, if messages come grouped in spurts. Benchmarks done with inserting one MySQL row at a time will be far slower than batch inserts. _______________________________________________ Twisted-Python mailing list Twisted-Python@twistedmatrix.com http://twistedmatrix.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/twisted-python
