regarding serve_forever() and non-blocking connection

[jason jurkowski]

yeah i know this is an odd way to reply to a post but its the only way
i could do it.  here is the response:
really the proxy stresses the cpu?  if http_proxy.handle_request()
compiles to more than a handfull of bytecodes and the requests are
concurrent the interpretor is probably doing too much context
switching.  by default the interpretor performs a context switch
between threads after executing 10 bytecodes.  you can change this w/
sys.setcheckinterval().
