One word Eddie... WOW!

This async stuff is fabulous! It works and it's dead easy for my 
application. There is no cpu limit with what I'm doing... only I/O 
problems. At your suggestion, I looked at twisted, and then just used 
the standard python asyncore module because it looked so darn easy, and 
as it turned out, it was.

Thanks a million for the advice. I was looking in the *wrong* direction.
