The goal should be, and is kind of what Larry Hastings is looking for, is that any program should run 8 times faster on a 8-core CPU compared to a 1-core. And as said above Python can basically only use one core b/c of GIL. Actually Python 2.7 multithreading runs much slower on a multicore CPU than on a single core due to locking congestion on the GIL.
