> To Python-level code, Python's threading model is pretty much exactly the same as that supported in all "fast" languages such as C and Java Yes, but Python also exposes higher-level operations like table manipulation as language primitives. > Given that Jython already allows true multithreading That may be, but as I mentioned this has an inherent cost, both in CPU and in memory.
