[Twisted-Python] How to accept connections faster

[Mike C. Fletcher]

Danny, Twisted is an asynchronous system.  You *cannot* use that kind of 
blocking delay tactic in Twisted without totally destroying Twisted's 
functionality:

should have been something like:

    def closeInABit( ):
        self.transport.loseConnection()
    reactor.callLater( 2, closeInABit ) # call after 2 seconds

You'll want to read up on asynchronous programming (e.g. on the Twisted 
web site) to get a feel for how this model of programming networked apps 
works.

Good luck,
Mike
