Python is slow?

I have updated the cookbook entry for yesterday to also include
parallel processing for large data sets. Even if you're not interested
in kd-trees, it is a good example of what the new multiprocessing
standard module can do. There are still people being scared by the
GIL, thinking it prevents Python from utilizing multicore processors.
