Hm.  Do you mean "thread" or "process"?  Because of the GIL you cannot  
use threads to overlap python
execution within one interpreter (this has been discussed at great  
length here many times...) --
depending on how you are measuring, perhaps you would aspire to get  
200%, 400% ...etc for multicore....
