PyCon 2024 showcased a number of ways to speed the pokey Python programming language including sub-interpreters, immortal objects, just-in-time compilation and more.
Yup, which is why you should try to limit the copying by designing your parallel processing algorithm around it. If you can’t, you would handle threading with a native library or something and scale vertical instead of horizontal. Or pick a different language if it’s a huge part of your app.
But in a lot of cases, it’s reasonable to stick with Python and scale horizontally. That has value if you’re otherwise a Python shop.
