To follow-up to my own query:
	- NT4 server did _not_ perform any better (5 roundtrips/sec, @whee)
	- Eliminating select altogether did not help at all

Threaded model; select only used for initial contact negotiation..
blocking time:

+---------+--------------------+-------+-------------------------------------+
|Function |          Time spent|# Calls|                              Percent|
+---------+--------------------+-------+-------------------------------------+
|select   |     111ms and 691us|     45|*                                    |
|write    |     432ms and 861us|   1052|*                                    |

Thus, it seems it's out of Python's hands for 95% of the
time. .. sigh. This twilight zone stuff just isn't for me :P
