Attached is a minimal reproducer script which is sufficient to show the issue 
clearly.
        
It is a simple single-thread Tkinter program with one canvas. No 
multiprocessing, no shared variables, no connections between instances. 
Instructions at top of file.
        
Results on i7-6700HQ, 4-core (8 thread), 2.60GHz, 16GB, Windows 10:-
    
    1 process running alone:             29k objects/sec
    6 processes running concurrently:    4.3k objects/sec each, = 25.8k 
objects/sec combined.

Conclusion: One-core performance, global system-wide lock.
