It would be good to figure out how much memory a tasklet and a deferred use. However I was worried about how much more kernel memory is used up when one increases the descriptors. This info would be useful in helping me decide whether to use a small or large memory model. I guess I'll wing it. I will also assume it would be good to recompile Python?

Thanks for the advice, will do. Cheers, Andrew
