\begin{funcdesc}{setcheckinterval}{interval}
Set the interpreter's ``check interval''. This integer value
determines how often the interpreter checks for periodic things such
as thread switches and signal handlers. The default is \code{10},
meaning the check is performed every 10 Python virtual instructions.
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.
