Yes, the timing is a problem. The app this quickhack was developed for is 
quite large, however it uses twisted for nothing else than the network layer, 
so in my case the timing isn't crucial as long as the UI still responds.

I encountered no problems on win and linux with this. However your application 
might be different.

Hopefully someday someone finds the time to write a complete reactor, which 
then will hide the threads.
