&nbsp;&nbsp;For
many projects, asynchronous disk file i/o isn't actually that
important.&nbsp;&nbsp;They either only do a little bit of it, or they
can fragment it over multiple reactor iterations manually without too
much effort.&nbsp; </blockquote>

can you explain the "fragement it over multiple reactor itertations"
please?<br>

I'm using this technique which boils down to reactor.callLater(0,
recursive_function, args)<br>
<br>
I also tried reactor.iterate() <br>

- although this prevented blocking for some reason it had some
undesirable side effects with my app.<br>
