Is Ruby 1.9 going to be faster than CPython?

[Nicola Larosa (tekNico)]

Holy Shmoly, Ruby 1.9 smokes Python away!

The post is less flaming than the title, fortunately.

If you have multiple CPUs and you want to use them all, fork off as
many
processes as you have CPUs. [...] If you really want "true" multi-
threading
for Python, use Jython or IronPython; the JVM and the CLR do support
multi-CPU threads. Of course, be prepared for deadlocks, live-locks,
race
conditions, and all the other nuisances that come with multi-threaded
code.
