I'm not sure what you think you're doing in your code, but I'm quite 
sure that using a home-brewed blocking loop inside an event handler in a 
high-performance asynchronous framework isn't exactly the best way to 
get good performance.  Have you tried using asyncore for asynchronous 
communication ?
