Now the question is, whats the best way round it ?
(My guess is that there isn't a way round it without a complete rewrite of the code).

Apparently, if it is this GIL problem...and if you are on Windows...you can use IronPython. Don't know how much work it would take to change over.

What is it that is going slow?

Is it CPU activity?
Memory handling?
Disk I/O?

The python process seems to hog 100% of just one processor, apparently it does this on the old server too. Memory and disk IO is fine.

Python anyone?

Anyone know a great deal about python?

I'm not interested to learn how to use it, more about getting it to run faster on a server I look after.

The background is that the developers have moved a system that uses python from an old server to a brand spanking 8 cpu server.

It actually runs 30% slower on the new box and they can't understand why.

Any ideas (apart 'from python is crap')?
