Why on earth do you want each tread to open the file and unpickle? Why not unpickle once and reuse it? Or, if this is just a test and in the future they will all read from different files (or sockets), then maybe you are hitting on a different bottleneck than you think.
Right, they will be reading from different sockets.
I think what he's trying to say is that reading from disk is different than reading from sockets so doing tests with disk reading is misrepresenting the problem and may indicate a bottle-neck that isn't there. How does this work if you remove the file-reading? I mean just putting the file on a small TCP/IP file server with some simulated latency and bandwidth limitation, and then connecting to that in each thread? /S -- Sebastian Sylvan +46(0)736-818655 UIN: 44640862
