That Python is so much slower than C is yet another area where Python can use improvement. > It's a proposition that used to bother me, until I did some actual > programming of real world problems in Python.

Right, that's basically the issue here: the cost of using multiple Python processes is unnecessarily high. If that cost were lower then we could more easily use multiple cores to make oru apps faster. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
