If a lengthy operation is blocking yes, it will block the other sockets in the same thread as well. An operation is blocking if no messages are being processed while it executes. But, for instance 10 instances of Twsocket can download or upload each a 100 MB file at the same time. Means for socket i/o threads are not necessary but if you want to sleep ;) or maybe execute a lengthy SQL put that stuff in a thread and then send the result when the thread has finished. > or do these events still occur to the other sockets as > well, enabling them to do also lengthy processing?
