Re^2: Cheating heavyweight threads

POE seems to help for managing the communcation between threads. Especially for my main thread which is primarily a Tk gui app and the child threads are just there to keep things reponsive.

I don't have a test case but it may not be a big deal to make one.

If a testcase that demonstrated the slow spawning of threads that you queried, was available, it might be possible for people to see ways of helping you solve it, or determine that there is a bug and report it. The situation you describe has a complex set of components and timings. Attempting to reproduce such a scenario blind would be guesswork. Examine what is said, not who speaks.
