This integer value determines how often the interpreter checks for periodic things such - as thread switches and signal handlers.

The default is \code{100}, + meaning the check is performed every 100 Python virtual instructions. Setting it to a larger value may increase performance for programs using threads. Setting it to a value \code{<=} 0 checks every virtual instruction, maximizing responsiveness as well as overhead. |
