Sorry for the confusion - that was what I wanted to say: from my perspective it is unlikely that the performance decrease seen on your dual processor CPU is related to having two processors. Because python thinks it has two processors on my machine, too (because of hyperthreading) and should exhibit the same decrease then (IF it would be coupled to two processors).
