python's thread problem on Linux platform

devdoer

I found that multi-threaded program(io-centralize ) runs very slowly
on linux while the same program runs very quickly on windows.If I
change the thread number to one ,the program runs quickly on linux, in
fact the speed is quicker than the multi-threaded version .
It turns out that python's multi-thread support on linux has some
problems.Any comments?

Yes. There is a bug in your code.

You are probably looping or have other quirks', over-lock-ing ...

Python's thread/threading/Queue stuff is unfortunately Java-ish/
OS-mindset and not functional. Thus encourages screwing "ego threads".

Maybe you get things organized frictionless with those 2? :
