Unfortunately, I somehow did not even *know* about the issue until February, after the issue had been closed. What I did know was that some of our big complicated Python multi-threaded daemons had shown puzzling resource hogging when moved from small Macs to large 8-core machines with hardware RAID and lots of memory. But, simpleton that I am, I'd presumed that threading in Python wasn't broken, and was looking elsewhere for the cause. > Python works reasonably well on multicore hardware, especially if you > don't run spinning loops and if you're not on Mac OS X. I'm not sure what you mean by "spinning loops". But I *am* on Mac OS X, along with an increasing percentage of the world. And I'm dismayed that there's no momentum to fix this problem. Not a good sign. Bill
