Python is a great general-purpose language with applications in various fields. However, sometimes you just hope it can speed up further. One way to improve the speed is to parallel the works, with either multithreading or multiprocessing.

There are numerous great resources out there that illustrate the concepts of both. To not duplicate the efforts, here are a few I found very helpful.

• https://medium.com/contentsquare-engineering-blog/multithreading-vs-multiprocessing-in-python-ece023ad55a
• https://www.geeksforgeeks.org/difference-between-multithreading-vs-multiprocessing-in-python/
• https://docs.python.org/3/library/concurrent.futures.html

In this article, I want to provide a simple simulation for anyone who wants to explore the concepts further and test it out on their own laptop. So here we go!
