I'd like to try and get to the bottom of the various problems with Twisted + GTK + Windows (mainly issue #4932[1], but see also issues #4376[2], #4862[3], #1759[4]).
Thanks for looking into this!
On issue #4376 there's a comment from Exarkun:
"glib handles timeouts much less efficiently than any of the existing Twisted reactors. Letting glib take care of these would probably make the glib-based reactors unusable for applications with many timeouts."
Is there a benchmark or piece of code somewhere that verifies this (or at least gives some sort of demonstration of "unuseable")?
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143061 I don't think it's ever going to get fixed on the gtk side, I filed that bug in 2004. The issues on Windows may be different than this, for that matter.
