   @anirudh2290 multiprocessing is often extremely inefficient. The reason is that any object that is passed between the processes must first be pickled and unpickled. Pickling is very slow. Using multi-threading of course requires extra care to bypass the GIL, but can make sense if the pickling overhead is too much. I assume @kohillyang has such case.
