In my experience (from stackless python) using priority wakeup for IO can result in very erratic scheduling when there is much IO going on, every IO trumping another.

I whipped up a trivial multithreaded HTTP server using socketserver.ThreadingMixin and wsgiref, and used apachebench against it with a reasonable concurrency level (10 requests at once). Enabling/disabling priority requests doesn't seem to make a difference.

Antoine.
