For now, you will not be happy with multiple CPU-bound threads in CPython or PyPy, because of the GIL. Jython is free-threaded but is slow in other ways. If you insist on using threads for CPU-bound work, you will probably be happier with another language.
I've actually found Jython rather slow to start up, but decent once it's loaded.
