We could try not to release the GIL when socket methods are called on a non-blocking socket. Regardless, I've re-run the tests under the Linux machine, with two spinning threads: * python 2.7: 25.580 seconds (409914.612 bytes/sec) * python 3.2: 32.216 seconds (325485.029 bytes/sec) (and as someone mentioned, the "priority requests" mechanism which was in the original new GIL patch might improve things. It's not an ideal time for me to test, right now :-))
