Sam, Thanks for the performance info. I've also pulled down some of the research papers (Proactor, Reactor patterns) which have a lot of the background.

*So I don't have to dig down too deep myself, how do thttpd and Zeus achieve greater performance if they use an asynch scheme? Is it because they are closer to the kernel?

*Has anybody done anything with asynch for reverse DNS lookups?

*Is your overview "Programming in Python with Medusa and the Async Sockets Library", which I found very useful, directly accessible on a web site without having to open the distribution? (Would be helpful for linking to from other pages.)

*Does your mailing list exploder use the poll() approach?

Thanks, Stuart
