That's great for concurrency, but doesn't improve parallelism.

Unless you mean you have multiple worker processes (or GIL-free threads).



Yes, multiple worker processes is what I meant. Few web apps have a meaningful use for parallelism within a single process. So long as you’re keeping all cores busy with independent processes at high concurrency, multithreading adds relatively little.

YMMV if you’re doing a lot of number crunching.
