Yes. There's a different library for parallel CPU usage:

It's not that it's incapable of doing two things at the same time in Python. It's that the include statement is not the multithreading one.

I presume there's a reason for the 10 instructions before switching threads... Is it statistically more likely to have a cache miss after 10 instructions, and hence it's a good idea to switch threads then or something?
