  This is actually amazing. My python programs rarely run at 100% cpu, whereas C++ binaries are usually up there. Always thought python's inefficiency causes the drop in cpu utilization.

    Python's regex implementation is probably not written in Python, so while it's trying to match, no Python code runs; it's all /C(++)?/.

    I don't know about how efficient it is but I have always been able to peg all cores with the multiprocessing module. Even something useless like "x * x" is more then enough for 800%.
