What kind of time savings are we talking about? I imagine that the accept() loop I put in tulip/echosvr.py is fast enough in terms of response time (latency) -- throughput would seem the more important measure (and I have no idea of this yet). http://code.google.com/p/tulip/source/browse/echosvr.py#37
With Windows overlapped I/O I think you can get substantially better throughput by starting many AcceptEx() calls in parallel. (For bonus points you can also recycle the accepted connections using DisconnectEx().)
Even so, Windows socket code always seems to be much slower than the equivalent on Linux.
