Threading vs. multiprocessing in Python

With Python 3.13 looking to change the world with regards to multi-core parallelism, I thought it would be good to take a look at what we have right here, right now!

Oh, and pitch them against each other for a laugh.

Would be interested to see how Mojo handles threading and multi-core parallelism as it doesn't have GIL.

Nice video idea - like the comparison
3:06 - i see 3.11 standing there and not 3.12
9:37 do you really use multiple cores, it is processes which are multiple - but for sure the processes started will use your 10 core cpu optimal, but don't forget that the main program uses also on core, so better use 9 instead of 10
