I disagree.  Separate reactor implementations are for different OS 
multiplexing mechanisms.  stackless.schedule() should *not* be called 
"whenever possible", but rather, whenever stackless tasks have something 
to do.

Don't implement a reactor :).

I recently replied to a very similar question in a different thread:

    http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.python.twisted/13946

What about my answer there was not clear?
