[Twisted-web] 100% CPU; what are my options?

[Arun Gmail]

Hey I believe twisted is developed in a way that it can only use one  
processor at a time. As process scheduling is part of operating system  
it can only schedule one twisted reactor based application on one  
processor. For taking advantage of multiple processor you can use  
fork, but then it is not twisted way of doing stuff,, i am a new bie  
in twisted world, so comments are appreciated. Moreover I think  
twisted is similar to C select for tcp server



Thanks
Arun
