Message: [QUOTE="jacopo, post: 3946914"] Jean -Paul, not sure I have understood. Say I have one server S and two clients C1 and C2 (all on separate machines). (a) C1 requests a remote call of f1() to S, f1() requires 5 minutes of processing. (b) S puts f1() in a queue and returns immediately a Deferred to C1. (c) Now f1() starts and keeps S’s processor busy for 5 mins (d) after few seconds C2 requests a remote call f2() to S. (e) On S the processor is already engaged with f1() but still “someone” on S is able to accept the request from C2, put it in a queue (after f1()) and return a Deferred to C2. (f) At some point after f1() is finished f2() will start I believe (b) is what you say “run for a short enough period of time that it doesn't matter that the reactor is prevented from accepting new connections (or what have you) for the duration of their execution.” ?! Don’t we have (c) and (e) running at the same time here? How is it possible to have only one Thread? Thanks, Jacopo [/QUOTE]
