The problem is i want to have total control of the overhead, while
being able to optimize any code i want. If i can place all of the heavy
overhead in a non-critical thread, it's just fine.

As someone said previously, there is a way to write major code issues
in c++ and glue them together with python.
This is not far from what i have foreseen. I though of a thread running
digital processing over some stream, and some other just for management
issues, possibly receiving orders from a script. The first should be
c/c++, while the second could be anything else.
Strange as it is, you saying i have to do it from scratch is REALLY
good news to me. As it happens i have this end of graduation project,
which was more or less targeted to the requirements i asked about in my
first mail ( althought it was not my main proposal ). As it goes, i can
say to my professor i really couldn't find anything very close to the
project i have going on ( it's almost done by now ). The bad news is i
have to use my own code, which was written mainly in a rush, and lacks a
little discipline in some points.
If someone would like to take a glance, i would be glad, though it
lacks documentation, and is commented mainly in portuguese.
By your news, i have second thoughs of continuing it to serious work,
maybe in a master thesis.
Again, thank you all,
Fabio
