+\begin{datadesc}{check_interval}
+When this variable is set to an integer value, it determines how often
+the interpreter checks for periodic things such as thread switches and
+signal handlers. The default is 10, meaning the check is performed
+every 10 Python virtual instructions. Setting this to a large value
+may increase performance for programs using threads. Setting it to a
+value <= 0 checks every virtual instruction, maximizing responsiveness
+as well as overhead.
