如果程序没做什么操作，多线程的性能比单线程差

运行结果：

starting tests non_threaded (1 iters) 0.000001 seconds threaded (1 threads) 0.000139 seconds Iterations complete non_threaded (2 iters) 0.000001 seconds threaded (2 threads) 0.000289 seconds Iterations complete non_threaded (4 iters) 0.000002 seconds threaded (4 threads) 0.000577 seconds Iterations complete non_threaded (8 iters) 0.000003 seconds threaded (8 threads) 0.001275 seconds Iterations complete ##################### from threading import Thread

程序做大量计算的时候，多线程的性能和单线程差不多。做计算的，应该使用多进程

starting tests non_threaded (1 iters) 0.001805 seconds threaded (1 threads) 0.001993 seconds Iterations complete non_threaded (2 iters) 0.003609 seconds threaded (2 threads) 0.004139 seconds Iterations complete non_threaded (4 iters) 0.007224 seconds threaded (4 threads) 0.008225 seconds Iterations complete non_threaded (8 iters) 0.014513 seconds threaded (8 threads) 0.016649 seconds Iterations complete

在进行大量IO操作的时候，多线程的性能比单线程好

starting tests non_threaded (1 iters) 0.049067 seconds threaded (1 threads) 0.049898 seconds Iterations complete non_threaded (2 iters) 0.104077 seconds threaded (2 threads) 0.060791 seconds Iterations complete non_threaded (4 iters) 0.241385 seconds threaded (4 threads) 0.093600 seconds Iterations complete
