Okay, I'll send this reply back to the group.

However, I'm sorry to say this, but this didn't help me.  My problem is,
that I'm spending a very large time in just one map() function call,
which iterates over a large list and calls a custom method for every
element.   I could of course write a thread wrapper function for this
function, but this doesn't sound very elegant to me.  Further, even if
I'd do this, I wouldn't know how I could jump out of this function
without iterating over the rest of the elements.

Other large amounts of time are spend in a "for zeile in
xreadlines.xreadlines(src):".  Here I could of course use the techniques
from your link.  And finally I'm spending a large chunk of time in
md5s.write(result_str_md5) (md5s is a file object).  For this I would
not know how I could quit the thread at all.
