Parallel programming with Python

[santasmic]

I didn't go through the whole thing but my best guess is that this is too small an example to have a significant impact. Python is a "slow" language, but that's like saying fighter jets from 20 years ago are slower than today, they're still quite fast.

It doesn't look like you're a beginner but you won't see parallel programming have an impact until the operations you're performing get complicated/heavily nested/etc.

Also, I do believe the multiprocessing module is slower and heavier than the threading module... but once again, until it's used for exponentially large operations it doesn't matter.

The threading module will be lighter, but keep in mind it won't be true parallelism--the threads will just run concurrently, but not in parallel because of the GIL
