How about, "If you want your multi-threaded code to
run faster on a multi-CPU system"? That's really the
only advantage of Java over Python that I see: its
threading implementation is clearly better. But
I still wonder if Jython threads acquire the Global
Interpreter Lock (or if the GIL exists in Jython
at all)?
