I'm not an expert, but the various grid computation schemes seem to
prefer either java or c/c++, I suspect that those schemes aren't really
using threads in main, after all they seem to be running between
machines in different parts of the world even. I suspect Python would be
in better shape if we could migrate threads or tasklets from one
processor to another.

I believe pyro can almost do that, but I haven't tried it.
