One of the problems with the "standard" CPython implementation is
that it only uses one CPU, even if you write threaded code. There
are implementations that address that, but I've never used them
so can't comment on whether they would help in your case.

I'm also not sure how Jython or IronPython handle things, they
might use their internal threading engines more effectively.
