<DIV>It isn't that I want to call a function with a particular frequency. Rather, </DIV>
<DIV>I want to call a function once per main loop. Further, when the function</DIV>
<DIV>is available to be called, I want to run with a timeout of 0 to further</DIV>
<DIV>increase the frequency of calls. LoopingCall still uses callLater which </DIV>
<DIV>simply can not deliver this type of service.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My view on things is that, while blocking I/O is best put in another </DIV>
<DIV>thread, computations that can be broken into small pieces (putting</DIV>
<DIV>yield statements in every loop, for example) can run very nicely in the</DIV>
<DIV>background. Between each chunck of processing, you check for any</DIV>
<DIV>timer events and for I/O completions, of course. But you want to execute</DIV>
<DIV>these small chuncks AS FREQUENTLY AS POSSIBLE.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>But like I said, I'm developing a new style of async programming. So</DIV>
<DIV>its bound to be something of a heresy. ;-)</DIV>
