For the curious about performance, here are some numbers
for the profiletest.i test, which is used to check the speed
of the wrapped code:
nothread 9.6s (no thread code)
nothreadblock 12.2s (only 'allow' code)
nothreadallow 13.6s (only 'block' code)
full thread 15.5s ('allow' + 'block' code)
i.e., full thread code decreases the wrapping performance
around 60%. If that is important to your application, you
can tune each method usin the different 'nothread',
'nothreadblock' or 'nothreadallow' features as
needed. Note that for some methods deactivating the
'thread block' or 'thread allow' code is not an option,
so, be careful.
